By my friend Johnny Ringwood
I don't usually to voice my opinion,
but on this occasion
Regarding the spilt from Scotland I feel I should.
On my mothers side her father originated from Ireland and her father from Scotland,
and on visiting these places I definitely felt an infinity both mentally and physically.
Back in the fifties I was a crew member on a cargo boat called the Taranaki,
our crew was was very mixed,
we had
Jocks from Glasgow,
Taffies from Cardiff,
Scousers from Liverpool
and
Cockneys from London.
The trip lasted 7 months during that time we were more than just a crew
we became very close some of these fellas became life long friends.
On the stern of our boat flew the red ensign which is three quarters red
and the the corner is the Union Jack.
That flag meant UNITY
and that in my humble opinion is how this tiny island island must remain.
