Comments:
This photo reminded me that when I was young there were three Bob Johnstons in Longhope, there was Cycle Bob, who had the garage and mended cars and bikes, Sodger Bob who had been in the Army Before WW Two, Engineer Bob mechanic on the Lifeboat and also each of them had mannerisims they were well known by.
Cycle Bob preceded statments that he made by "weel I mean tae say" while Sodger would add "my soull" to add to the boldness of the matter, Engineer Bob would say "eah" before the start of any thing that he said.

Me!! I'm without any mannerisms whatsoever!!!.
