"i'm not lying Jim and i do resent you saying that i am."
Sorry Al - that is not the Grey Cock as I knew it throughout its existence - if anything, it was accused of being somewhat po-faced and over-serious - one of the comments made by Ian Campbell when he appeared at the MacColl symposium concert .
One of the things that was established there was a total respect for the audience - starting on time and not farting about among themselves - not ever, it would bnever have been tolerated.
You've seen the research work and the achievements by the club and its members - including the incredibly devoted 'Banner Theatre' - non of theis would have been vaguely possible without a level of commitment
The idea of 'fisherman's smock' uniforms is a joke, it really is.
Sorry - I don't believe you - but should you care to provide evidence for your accusations I will be happy to apologise.
