Brilliant, love to hear these types of anecdotes.

My friend was crushed on the dutchriver bridge.

Was that Nigel Stoker?@@kevinwoolass5946

@@kevinwoolass5946 Nigel Stoker I think.

@@garibaldi9528 my friend from old goole was crushed on one of the bridges over the docks, he his OK now but was very badly injured, I don't think it would be right to say his name. Happy times, great people, my best memories, I don't think we had a pound between us, but money was not on our minds.

Don’t forget that a lot of the early mills were water powered too.

Well it still runs today and takes no electricity

Wind up "clockwork" is overlooked

It could be the technology that powers the future

No, sorry. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was though.

sadduck28 was he the union rep ?

@@speckles82 no idea , I just remember him being a legend

I remember Tippy Gill from 1959. He used to help the Police if there was any fights in the pub across the road from the Clock Tower, also Walter Hattersley was handy in a scrap.

I think Steve Coogan used bits of Ray occasionally and Alan Partridge Scissored Isle 2016 seemed to use Goslings Travels format.

Nice one. hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

Just found out that he died last year of cancer.

Awesome, glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

Do you remember the ship yard buzzer at 4.30 all the bicycles down bridge street and burtons leaving, the girls four abreast, going down boothferry road, my wife was one of them.

Power looms were invented in the 1780's. I can't remember which mill this was filmed in but it was in Wales and it is a water powered mill. The loom in the video is one from the 1800's not sure of the date. If you're interested check out the wiki. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_loom

@@Tinhare pleas guy can you help me we make pwer loom at home as we know in Africa materials & professional are less

He was about 4 when that was taken. Yes, it is because of their stub nose as it constricts their nasal passages. They can have problems with them later in life. at least Snubby has a manly snore :) Had him weighed to day actually. He is now just over 5 and weighs 6.2kg. Yep, they are a heavy breed. Some vets who don't understand the breed can be concerned about their weight but they are a heavy cat. I don't know about yours bet both this one and our BSH Chocolate Point are very easy going cats.

Thanks for the comment. The "crazy ring" over the exhaust is called a splitter. It is there to help stop the exhaust from blasting the soot, bugs and other debris off of the roofs of tunnels and bridges. When you're in a tunnel that's nearly two miles long for 40mins there's a lot of crap that can get blasted down and into your eyes. As for maintenance, the oil is changed every 200 hours and the air filter at regular intervals too. Not much else to do except adjust the tappets. Unless I take the head off and de-glaze the bores or the manifold and exhaust off and de-coke it there's not a lot more I can do. It's an everyday working engine not a nicely rebuilt show engine so, after nearly 80 years I think the amount of smoke coming from it is acceptable.

Thank you.

Yes it was a bit fast. I realised after taking the video. Doh!
