Onboard bar entertainment

[Lucy Knight]

The Doxford chicken dance was performed for entertainment on old Joe Shell midship/aft H boat rust buckets etc, when enough loopy juice had flowed.

I was recently reminded, by ex R/O, of the words below.

Doxford Ditty

My name is William Doxford and I come from Sunderland

And we are the best engine makers in the Land

The tappits go pop and the rockers go flop

And the scavengers blaze away

You only have to oil the b.....d 50 times a day.

You tube last Doxford diesel with sound effects.
