Sowerbutt's Strike

"Sorbay made good money in the '47 Docks Strike." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview, said: "Food was going off in the unloaded ships, so Jimmy led his lads in and fought a pitched battle with the unionists and the Reds. Guess who won? He trucked out food, which sold at a top price, for several days before the Army moved in and broke the strike."

Sowerbutt's Plan

Brendan Bracken said: Lifting our skirts a little may persuade the Little Corporal that we are interested in a spot of tête-à-tête rather than fisticuffs. In the confusion, he may delay the invasion for a week or two and then it will be too late for this year."

Sowerbutt's Liquor

Before Sowerbutt left the nightclub, he would check with Martin Poulson, the maitre dhotel, about how his liquor stocks were faring. He knew of several London residences with fine wine cellars whose occupants had vanished to more remote parts of the country.
