Remember Para Handy and the crew ? . . in the film "The Maggie" he was drunk and sober 3 times in one day.
When I was a docker we were transferred to Glasgow docks for a week and actually worked on one of these boats, the crew were something else I can tell ya.
I have the film on DVD, . . it's classic.
The Crinnan Canal was a short cut for the puffers to take them to the Hebrides without going round the Mull of Kintyre.
You don't know what you've missed folks, . . the dialect may confuse you but it's good clean comedy, . . here's Fulton McKay (the warder in Porridge) he's the minister going to conduct a wedding, . . . maybe.
I hope Brandykins comes on later, she'll love this.
