Pies as you've never seen him before

Photographed not too long ago we find Mike Allison and John Stonehouse at the opening of Johns' latest retail outlet. Known as the Eston Emporium the photo shows the very first customer through the door, a very young looking Jan Hunton


In the frame for future editions will be Kenny Judd, Graham Craggs and Gus Murphy. Watch this space!








Talking of Kenny ( Doris ) Judd, the world has yet to be introduced to the most famous photo of them all. Today sees the official unveiling of 'that' photo.
I don't know what you had that day Ken but I want some of it!























MANAGERS RULES, WITH A DIFFERENCE

The electricians at the Dock play football
The fitters at the Dock play rugby
The Terminal Manager at the Dock plays tennis
The Maintenance Manager has a preference for Golf

Which just goes to prove that the higher up the
corporate ladder you go, the smaller the balls.

Viva la France

After what seems like a lifetime I've finally returned to DOCKACHE mode in an attempt to breathe new life into my personal viewpoint of life in my workplace. Whether it is a consequence of turning 62, or maybe onset of depression with our English summer weather, I have this urge to wreak havoc amongst my fellow work colleagues. They should be reminded at this point that it is all in fun, and nothing is personal. Hopefully I can make some innocent humour, if you are in management you will be an obvious target. Such was the fate of my long-standing victim Don Huddlestone. Fairly recently retired, he was the victim of a surprise presentation of a framed DOCKACHE special. Rumour has it that it takes pride of place in a prominent position in his house. What greater accolade can I ask for!
Other recent retiree's worthy of a mention are Mick, Ronnie, John 'slurp' Ryan, and Peter 'hello sailor' Andersenn.

The hot news at the moment is the return to site of Britain's only entrant in the CSU Stock Car Championships, held this year in France. Otherwise known in French racing circles as the 'Angel of Death', Jan Hunton tells the story of a mishap in a car park, causing minor damage to her car. Yeah, right oh Jan. It doesn't make you a bad person cos you had 3 or 4 too many white wines with your breakfast. You were, after all, on holiday. It's allowed. Just make sure you don't send ships to the wrong ports with the wrong cargoes! This is her car shortly before being recovered.
