Nice to see the Freda still going.
Always preferred The Shieldsman for some reason.

In 28 years up here, I've never caught the Shields ferry

(Though we did have a party on one of the party ferries in Fresher's week, all those years ago. I was a wee bit green after the heady combination of pernod and black and all that bobbing up and down!)
