The things which can't be categorised

You can tell us more about Gourock.

• I miss the row of shops at Station Rd. Ferry cafe, Shavana, and Nellies cafe
• Slush Douglas - now there's a name from the past. Used to live in Staffa Street and supported his wife & family by not working. He once agreed to cut his neighbour;'s front grass for sixpence an hour but only used scissors. They later moved to Ailsa Road area but shortly after, his youngest daughter, who was about 5, was run over and killed by the school bus.

• it took me 19 years to translate what that bloke outside global video who sells papers is saying "telegraph and record,record and mail" and a didnt even ask him"
• There is not much else to say about the Wee town of Gourock. It suffers badly from being run against the voters wishes by a Labour council who spend all the money in Greenock and Port Glasgow in spite of these two towns being full of scrounging beggars who never pay a penny in council tax and never do a days work. They are all on invalidity and being supported by the people of Gourock.
