John Dempster was a career civil servant at the Department of Transport. Not only did he have an eagle eye's view of the political and industrial events which led to Margaret Thatcher deciding to abolish the Dock Labour Scheme, he played a major part in planning for it. With full access to government papers he plots the history of the Dock Labour Scheme, explains why its introduction was necessary in the 1940s, how its grip on many British ports led to industrial paralysis and why it needed to be scrapped. Having interviewed dozens of the major protagonists in the events of April-July 1989, which led to the abolition of the Scheme he paints a portrait of an industry in decline, but one which has, since then, experienced a renaissance.

Loved by both dogs!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th
My dogs love them! I wanted something light but comfortable for my dogs (who are extremely picky and don’t like to sit unless there is a cushion to sit on) as secondary beds to easily move around the house as needed. These are perfect and also super cute. I ordered one to test it and immediately ordered the second after the first one arrived. I have a 56 lb. And a 100 lb dog and they love to curl up inside and use the ‘pillow’ to support their head. I ordered the 36” but if your dog likes to sprawl out, I suggest getting the larger one for comparable sized dogs. The pictures are of my 56 lb. dog for reference.

Are they using it??
Color: Pink, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th
I bought this bed for my cats, of which I have 4. The bed fits 2 cats at a time snuggly if they do not mind sharing. The size I bought is a medium. The bed is a “dog” bed but the cats love it more than any other bed. It is very soft to touch but provides a lot of support. Its depth seems perfect for cats. This bed is rarely unoccupied 😆. I just bought a second one before a riot starts!

I ordered the medium to give my small dog space to play in his bed which he does!!! I laid on it with him watching a show so it had my scent and the bed did the rest💖💖💖 its very soft and comfortable My dog is an adult toy poodle under 10lbs the small bed would be fine for just resting.
