Dockside bars

[glenda99]

Does anyone live by the docks and more to the point does anyone know whether these kind of bars exist? Seems like a great place to meet strong strapping sailor types wouldn't you agree?

Yes Squad as I was based in Liverpool and in the East end of London (East Ham) as that was where my Regional Offices were.
Sailed from London (King George V Dock) on my first ship and never looked back !!

red....I was at the London Hospital and the Merchant Navy boys would come through the Suez Canal, go ashore in Port Said, get a dose and the incubation period brought them nicely to the London Docks and the first call was to the VD department at the London. The consultant was a bloke called Dr. Ambrose King who was quite a card and some of the sights of those infected "nobs" were unbelievable......some almost dropping off.

I also worked in Liverpool....Rodney Street for many years.......not doing VD though LOL

red....well the sights put me off sex with MEN. ;-)
