does anyone here recall that series it went on for yrs:when the boat comes in?

Yes, wasn't it James Bolam's first big part?

Mart

yeah as a straight actor.i believe,is bonnie lass roughly translated as good girl?

It was James Bolam's first serious main part. He made his name in the likely lads. He really is an accomplished actor. I think the signature tune was sung by the late Owen Brannigan.

or alex glasgow ,oh no he wrote it i think.

Bonnie in this usage means good looking , attactive . I was in Barrow in Furness once when they had a spare Cruise liner anchored in the bay that the customer had neglected to pay for . It was painted in dazzling white and sleek black and towered over the Victrian workers cottages of the town . One of the locals pointed to it as we ambled up to the pub at lunch time , "wahay wood yoo like to bouy a Bonnie Boat ?" he cheerily enquired , well , you try typing in Barrow accent.

is barrow near jarrow?

No it's near Harrow

It depends on how you define near . In both cases postulated if the criteria are "use of the same subset of of characters from the English Alphabet " the answer is yes . Hope this helps

yes thanks,had lots of maps yrs ago but not now.
