<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Glasgow's
famous shipyards built great battleships and
cruise-liners, they employed thousands of men and created a unique
community. In a job that was always dangerous and physically demanding
the 'bunnets' (skilled workers) found ways to keep cheerful, whether it
was performing magic tricks, playing football, making fun of the
'bowlers' (bureaucratic foremen) or starting their weekend drinking
early. Life in the shipyards was hard but ex-workers, including <b>poet
Brian Whittingham,</b> look back on those times of camaraderie with
nostalgia. 'Bunnets 'n' Bowlers' is an entertaining, uplifting and, at
times painfully, realistic poetic description of a way of life that is
now gone.<br>
