Take it easy, Ari, but here's a little something I didn't know: Scousers built Cephalonia.
Well, the Cunard steamship, anyway:
Over 175 years, 248 ships have flown the Cunard flag and of those 125 were built in Scotland with 120 of those being built on the Clyde.
Cunard's first 75 ships were built in Scotland before the company dipped a toe in the waters of the Mersey and ordered Cephalonia in 1881 from Laird Brothers at Birkenhead

When I was a lad the local newsagent used to sell individual Park Drive and Woodbine, plus 1 match for a penny ha'penny. They also used to sell a packet of five cigarettes for the rich people.
