As one who works near Swansea, and who is ancient by office average ages I have never failed to be amused by the Change in Wind Street.

100 years ago Wind Street was full of drunken Sailors looking for Ladies of temporary affection. Well its part of our heritage, like Bute Street in "Kairdif", or Portsmouth Point.

these days it seems to be drunken office workers of either sex, looking for partners of either sex for (Ahem) tempory affection.

Anyway there I was one lunch hour reading the paper, and by mischance drawn into a coversation as to what the girls of our desk cluster intended to do that Friday night. I started huming MAGGIE MAY

"Whats that tune ?"
"Maggie May - an old Sea Shanty"
"No it isnt !"
(BTW - Rod Stewert - you have a lot to answer for.)
So I expained the song - and sang the Swansea version - NB Substitute the Streets and Pubs - Wind St for Peter St, or Lime St Etc. - and was pursueded to type out the words.
Yep, it is now being sung with amendments, in the clubs and bars of Swansea. I have been threatened with a version at our Xmas Party "Glee Club"
Interesting !!!

Steve - any joy on that Chorus ???
