I refuse to believe that one of the biggest legends to have graced our club was called, 'Bob Cock'.

[Jamma]

Cock? No way!!

[Jamma]

Anyhow, can't complain with that score, I'm (joint) leading the pack that didn't take part last week

[Boba Fett]

Don't worry lads - Bobby Cox was always a cox and never a cock (thankfully).. The question was referring to the Lochee Jute Baron Cox brothers.. :-)

[JoeCovenant]

I knew that one!

In the kids novel I've been boring you all to death talking about, I *touch* on the history of the mill (as it plays a large part in the story)...

Call me old fashioned, but for a kids book I thought it best that I steered away from the name originally being Cock....
