He loved to get people singing- as well as the train to Edinburgh, when we went on a boat up the small gorges of the Yangste River in China, the boatmen sang to make the rhythm. Alf decided that he should teach them a song. This resulted in three boats full of tourists from Japan, Korea and assorted European countries singing along with the boatmen to Old Macdonald had a farm, including Alf allocating animal noises to different sections of the boats. great fun for everyone. We still have the straw shoes he was given as an honorary boatman!
