Thanks, someone else has suggested Queen of the Fleet but they're not 100% either.

Cheers

Confirmed by a well retired fisherman on passing the local brigade at the crossroads as we attended a chimney fire late on Sunday evening.

Trick Question!

general jack o'niell wrote:nice pic, the bairn might like it better, since that's where her name comes from, i remember seeing an artificialy coloured version of it many years ago, tho maybe taken from a slightly different angle,

how many carradale men does it take to change a light bulb?


Aye General, that's why it was aimed at yersels. Anyway, Morenish knows the answer to the trick question.

Carradale men don't change the lightbulbs, as they are never in. Even if they are in, they still get the wife or the bairn to change it!
