The Doxford chicken dance was performed for entertainment on old Joe Shell midship/aft H boat rust buckets etc, when enough loopy juice had flowed.
I was recently reminded, by ex R/O, of the words below.
Doxford Ditty
My name is William Doxford and I come from Sunderland
And we are the best engine makers in the Land
The tappits go pop and the rockers go flop
And the scavengers blaze away
You only have to oil the b.....d 50 times a day.
You tube last Doxford diesel with sound effects.
