A brilliant Radio series I never missed a broadcast, I was leafing through the book in the summer, published by Penguin in 1975.
I remember one stanza from a Liverpool poem from around the 1930s, relevant to to-days woes,
      "Just watch those children sitting on the dockyard wall,

       Watching their father do nothing at all,

      Some day or others they`ll be dockyarders too,
       Just like their fathers with nothing to do".
