    I see your partner has fallen asleep thro' boredom.

    That lad's completely and utterly exhausted with tailing so many prawns that day Mackem....on the other hand,and being realistic,it probably was boredom lol
    real fishermen then  now hide under shelter decks

    We had the boat between us Davie,but the old man(Ronnie Marr) was the man in the dookit.I got a wee shot now and again when he went on holliday (rarely) or took a day off(even rarer)...He aye said a day was long enough for me tae cairry the boat anyway...there wis only a limited amount o' damage I could dae in that timescale !! I think the other lad in the pic is John Downie that had the "Kiwi" in the 80s.
