Subject: RE: What do these Cyril Tawney lyrics mean?
Hello Rosemary !! Nice to know you're still going strong ! I remember writing to you from HMS Eagle in 1968 or thereabouts to ask for the words to some song (can't remember which one !)
             But I do remember many comings and goings to and from our berth near the Non -Tidal Basin,via St Levan's Gate in Devonport Dockyard----very handy for The Avondale,and,of course, "Frank's" wonderful Oggie-shop,where one could purchase an "Oggie Special" or a "Chiefs' and POs". "All Gone" now, I suppose ??? Like the Royal Naval School of Dancing & the Palace Long Bar in Union Street ?
Those were the days !!
