rtOLLEAGUE Norman Tilsley, who visited Northern Ireland recently, tells me that the hospitality there equals that of the Scots. Readers who have had dealings with Ian Duffin, Lame traffic superintendent of the Transport Ferry Service, for instance, will know what Norman means. Ian has his own kind of cure for potential seasick hauliers who call on him prior to boarding one of the TES roll-on/roll-off ferries bound for Preston—about four or five doubles of whiskey or gin, knocked back in quick succession.
But if it's good food you're after in Lame then Billy Allen, AngloContinental Container Services' manager, is the man. Billy—who has been with ACCS since its inception—knows all the best spots along the Antrim coast as well as the best way of getting a load from Carrickfergus to West Berlin!
