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