We were docked in Greenock which is actually 25 miles outside the city centre. Rain was worse these days and we werebonly off the ship for a short while. Went to the fire museum and spent an hour with retired fireman, Gordon. Really interesting guy.
Fire dog, Gordon told us that despite all the hi-tech stuff, the dogs were better at finding the accelerant source in arson fire investigations.
This engine was a film star.1940's vintage it was in the film Battle of Britain.
In the evening we had a Scottish singing & dancing night. The girls were terrific with their flings, unlike the Irish they know what to do with the arms. It took me right back to Andy Stewart and the White Heather Club - Donald where's your Trousers. We even had to show the Dutch how to do Auld Lang's Syne.
