Goole - 18 April 2001:
From the TEESSHIPS archives, I said at that time: Yes, officer, George did say I could stop on the roundabout to take photos. What? You don't know George, I thought everyone did! Well, no, he didn't say I'd get funny looks, but then I've had them all my life! A spectacular evening view of the timber yards at Goole docks. In response to a suggestion the view would be improved if they were tidied up a bit, I believe the answer was to the effect - where there's muck, there's brass! (and that's as Yorkshire as you can get!)
