    Mind of her coming into Dunbar when she was at the prawns back in the early/mid 60s,big lump of a vessel for a 95 Gardner.She had a bonny name but can ye just imagine calling a boat "Snowflake" nowadays?...the PC brigade would nail ye to the cross for that lol

    Being the true professionals that they are Clamcal I'm sure they wouldn't think anything of it.Just the same way as they would be if ye were on a wee boat that was in Weymouth a few years back called the "Gay Dolphin".....or as some wag commented "the po*fy porpoise" !!
