HERE'S a lunch date with a difference. Glasgow dockers huddle around a battered brazier in 1950 to eat their pieces.
No fancy china for them it was a newspaper on your lap to catch the crumbs and coal-black tea from a tin mug that would scald and stick to your lips if the brew was too hot.
And we might be mistaken, but we could swear that's a tin of Carnation condensed milk sitting at one of the workers' feet.
In the really cold winter weather, when gales would blow up the Clyde, the men would fashion a makeshift toasting rack out of bailing wire and hang it from the brazier to heat their sandwiches.
