Take one in the eye Mr Humble Pie... Sunderland were indeed the biggest shipbuilding town in the world at one time..You can google this info if you want to...
"The greatest shipbuilding port in the world"….SAYS The sunlun Herald… But the first 16…seconds!!! tell a different story
It is a fact that Sunderland, for a time, built more tonnage of ships per annum than any other town in the world. It is also a fact that Humble Pie is a buffoon who will not accept this..
How comes you're arguing over being the biggest ship building town in the world? I've not read all 16 pages.
You prove it… (You are about three or four hundred years behind the time that phrase was coined, we have been building ships on the wear for close to five hundred years, and for those years we were the biggest shipbuilding town in the world,) Well?????
There are certainly different levels of stupidity John but after all of the overwhelming proof given to you , I think you fully deserve the Gold Medal, sad part being you are stuck with it, as up until now they have not found a cure
Humble Pie is a numb as a boot and is not worth the time and effort..Anyway he will probably break his parole again soon and disappear for a while..
What the hell does a program about the 20th century tell us about a town that have been building ships since the fourteenth century , I have always thought you were a bit daft but now I realise I was being kind to you
Oh the irony… Ask…Safc8… (You are about three or four hundred years behind the time that phrase was coined, we have been building ships on the wear for close to five hundred years, and for those years we were the biggest shipbuilding town in the world, and the Press gangs saw to it that a crew was provided , not to move them to another place as you suggest , but to sail them around the world, if you look at a painting of the many sea battles that were fought by the British you can rest assured that the vast majority of the ships you see were built in SUNDERLAND, I do not have any proof but would be very surprised if any ships ever were sent somewhere else to be fitted out except in fairly recent times, certainly never to Newcastle as there only forte was coal, as over five hundred years we developed some of the finest tradesmen ever in the building and fitting out of a ship To suggest that Newcastle coined the phrase is nonsense the only thing in history that Newcastle can claim to be superior to Sunderland is in the production of coal, in every other field they were inferior, including football, their prosperity started when Sunderland supplied them with ships to move the coal that they overproduced Sorry to go overboard but it riles me to see the Magnificent history of Sunderland is not instilled into the modern generation) Well, its utter bollocks…five hundred years…… …
I can understand your reluctance to accept history John but I have not finished, at the time when the Iron men of Sunderland were building wooden ships, do you know what the inhabitants of Newcastle were doing ? FARMING SHEEP , its all there in the history books along with Sunderland's later superiority on the football field , surely you can understand why the people of Sunderland see you as objects of ridicule it goes back a long way Started building ships early in the fourteenth century, ask your teacher to work it out for you when you go to school on Monday PS. Don't forget your tape recorder and crayons
Humble is very selective in which posts he addresses, anything which proves him wrong he ignores as if his life depends on it. He did it with me on the last page.
(we have been building ships on the wear for close to five hundred years, and for those years we were the biggest shipbuilding town in the world ] ^^^^^^^^^^ Tell one lie fredor… and the rest of your testimony is irrelevant…
(we have been building ships on the wear for close to five hundred years, and for those years we were the biggest shipbuilding town in the world} Sad mackem myth……
AND FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT TIME SUNDERLAND WAS THE BIGGEST SHIPBUILDING TOWN IN THE WHOLE KNOWN WORLD I cannot of course give any figures for the planet that you live on !
