ferres and O'Loughlin to widnes

[Trojan]

On the banks of the Mersey, over on Cheshire side,

Lies Runcorn, that's best known to fame

By Transporter Bridge as tak's folks over its stream,

Or else brings 'em back across same.

In days afore Transporter Bridge were put up,

A Ferry Boat lay in the slip,

And old Ted the Boatman would row folks across

At tuppence per person per trip.

Now Runcorn lay over on one side of stream,

And Widnes on t'other side stood,

And as nobody wanted to go either place -

Well, the trade wasn't any too good.

One ev'ning, to Ted's superlative surprise,

Three customers came into view -

A Mister and Missus Ramsbottom it were,

And Albert, their little son, too.

Must've been before he was eaten by that lion!

In "the return of albert", the lion feels sorry for him and coughs him out, meaning that he gets home just in time to prevent his dad from claiming the insurance. The final verse being

 

Then giving young Albert a shilling,

He said "Pop off back to the Zoo.

Ere's yer stick with the 'orse's 'ead 'andle-

Go and see what Tigers can do!"

COLLEAGUE....COLLEAGUE...ITS COLLEAGUE NOT CO-WORKER!!!

What's wrong with the term coworker? They work together in the same position at work (player).

I think the term Co-worker is an American term.

 

Some people want to keep the English language rather than taking up the American way of speaking and spelling....

[zorquif]

Yes - because the english language has always been as it has been spoken today, never changing - certainly not by outside influences!

Co worker is a lot easier to spell though
