hiya,
Thought of staying close to the coast and using my sat-nav.
thanks harry, long retired.

We might run aground like that Italian bloke and his ship Harry.Then again,as I can’t swim it might be safer.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Wasn’t he showing off to a pretty lady passenger Dave, well you can rule that out
there’ll be no shenanagins aboard my ship, I’ll do any shenanagin that needs doing
in the privacy of my own cabin and only when we drop anchor, shenanagin along
with skippering don’t mix so we might be at anchor for a large part of the cruise.
thanks harry, long retired.

You two old dreamers, can stop dreaming, for I have won nowt, but still in there pitching, and of course my friends would get nothing but the best. but I do not know about people who call me nosser, they might get a bunk next to the engine, and their wife a five star apartment, so she can torment him about the lovely meal she has just eaten, while he has his bread & dripping.

I heard a rumour that it in northants area, a place called Corby, thats where they all speak with a Scottish accent, bloody hell they got it wrong again, all I got was nine pound fiftypence,but look on the bright side of life, it is getting closer, only twenty miles away.

[harry_gill]

hiya,
Done a lot of work both into (scrap) and out of (products) to Stewarts and Lloyds
as a lad Norm the only thing carrying the S&L name now is the Corby Bowling Club
get yourself over there Norm you might just be able to show them how to go on.
thanks harry, long retired.

[norman_ingram]

Told at bowls today, that they gave it out on the news, and it’s not Corby, what is this world comming too, when you cannot believe in a rumour.

[harry_gill]

hiya,
Nine pounds fifty pence you could just about buy Corby with that princely sum Norm.
thanks harry, long retired.

[norman_ingram]

Harry I don’t think I want to buy it, even if it has improved since I was there! when I came out of the army I done a short spell on Corona, taking pop to the houses, and one holiday period, I had to do Corby as a replacement driver, nearly every other house on the council estates wanted bottles of pop, but had no money but was willing to do a trade for it! But being young, I told them I had enough girl friends and so they went without pop. Just think I could have ended poor and a total wreck.

There could be a lot of Ingram’s living in Corby.

hiya,
There’ll be sure to be Dave, if you ever visit Corby just look around
for young fellah’s walking about wearing a white bowling cap and
carrying a bottle of Irn Brew, that’ll likely be one of our Normans.
thanks harry, long retired.

Never been to Corby Harry.Came close to going at one time when my then boss was thinking of hauling slag from there.
The caps wouldn’t have kept white for long in those days.
Cheers Dave.

[harry_gill]

hiya,
Been there lots Dave when Stewart & Lloyds were in evidence
overnighted a couple of times, even the kids who had obviously
been born there spoke with a Scottish/Glaswegian accent the
Scots certainly took over that little part of England a bit like
Blackpool for a couple of weeks in the Summer, it did make
for lively pubs though, “happy days and nights”.
thanks harry, long retired.

[norman_ingram]

Sorry to upset you lads, I never lingered in Corby, so no kin in that town, also I never had a white cap in those days, in the 60’s I worn a white trilby which I got from a butcher, to go with my white shirt & trouses, this was when we was on bowling tours. so as I have been telling you over these years, I have always been whiter than white!

[dave_the_renegade]

The nearest I have been to Corby is seeing the sign off the A14.That’s about as near as I will get to it I would think.
Cheers Dave.

Aye,Stewart and Lloyds and Lancashire Steel before it was BSC Harry,Little Scotland. I used to backload out of both places as well as the coking ovens,and very often out of BRS Corby yard.

[norman_ingram]

Corby, I have not been in it since 1959, I have been around it many times, and in the BRS depot, until it closed, people tell me it gone up market since the steel industry went out of there, one time they was trying to get a disney world there, but they chose Paris.
