Thanks Steve.
It's interesting how different people view the song.
For me, the song is just about the mystery woman who lives on her own. The sailor part is just a local rumour to explain a possible reason for her reclusiveness. Other than that the sailor is unimportant. I could have said "rumour says she grows her own weed and mushrooms" to explain her behaviour. Maybe that would have fitted in better with garden enthusiasts. :-)

No, I wasn't on that forum but I can imagine the smiles.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
