On the docks

My great-grandfather used to work on the docks. However, I somehow doubt he was quite so Village People as this fine statue.



In place of the docks now are buildings like this, the St David's Hotel and Spa, our home for our two -- or should that be 1.5 -- nights in Cardiff. Nice. And I'm sure working there is considerably less stressful than hauling coal or loads off the boats. Even if the uniforms aren't as appealing.
