The name of the town has had various spellings over time. It was printed in early Acts of Parliament as Grinok, Greenhok, Grinock, Greenhoke, Greinnock, and later as Greinok. Old Presbyterial records used Grenok, a common spelling until it was changed to Greenock around 1700. The origin of the name is unknown, suggested sources have included the Common Brittonic "Graenag", a gravelly or sandy place which accurately describes the foreshore before the docks and piers were constructed, or Gaelic meaning a sunny place, which Grenockians have thought an improbable description. It has also been suggested that "Grian cnoc" or sunny hill could refer to the hill on which the castle and mansion house stood, but this has not found much support.

Greenock 1981 - A shipbuilding town
A bit of history here. A drive from the BPI factory on Port Glasgow Rd. through Greenock's industrial heartland at the time. Shipbuilding and associated engineering works were still a major part of the town's economy. This is as far back as my videos take us.

[Krang] Ovo je vek medija, pa se mudar ovek nervira Jer se ovde preferira samo ono što se servira. Vi niste ljudi, ve serija kvazi robota Pravih robova, a mediji kažu da si slobodan? Baš si pogodan za sve oblike manipulacije Dok vi trendujete, ja branim duh nacije Krang pravi zvuk akcije, batice besnim zbog Granda Pesnikog škarta, farme I velikog brata. Ovce iz stada - vi ste žrtve iste taktike Nosite iste patike, bodrite iste laike Volite iste navike, vodite iste abrove Imate iste strahove, praznite iste rafove Pratite iste stavove, hvalite iste škartove Pravite iste planove, imate iste dukseve Dame iste bruseve, itaju iste kurseve Slikaju iste luzere, primaju iste kureve. Uvee uvuete bulje u iste farmerke... Zbog iste namere, oI vam bulje u iste frajere. Žene manje više vode iste prazne prie Imaju iste ravne šIške I iste glatke pike. Refren [Richy] Mediji vas ue šta je dobro a šta zlo, Mediji vas ue šta je tuga a šta bol. Mediju vas ue svemu, Zdrava svest za pravu cenu. Sve vas vole mediji, Za vas I vama mediji. [Krang} TV ih zatupi pa ih muI vazdušni sindrom Pa su za jadnike air max patike statusni simbol Pritom, I vi u frci s kintom pratite modu Najku pravite lovu jer skupo platite robu. Shvatite foru. svuda kopije silnih zvezda Svako bi da oseti miris keša, izgleda ko MTV gengsta. Ti si smešan, sve što ti piješ su batine Pa priviaš viski, kurve, kilo platine. Sinko žalim te, pratite vaše krimi mentore MTV trendove, Wejnove, Westove, Fifti centove Kad vam vidim tekstove hvata me melanholija Setim se pesama koje pisah sa sedam godina. Svako je bleda kopija, krvopija, scena sarkazma Ironije u balkanskom repu uopšte nema Balkana. Jebena farma, zvezde granda, to gleda cela nacija Retardi se smeju retardima borio bih se al nema naina. [Refren] [Krang] U srednjem veku inkvizitori danas mediji vešaju Oni ubeuju svet u ono što veliki spremaju. Nama smeštaju, teraju proces globalizacije Koji treba da pogazi nacije, odstrani razlike, Postavi navike, pa se ne pije ništa sem kole I fante Ne sluša ništa sem lejdi Gage, nose levis I najke, Fensi marke, niko ne želi da bude otpadnik Ne umem da budem podanik, deo kulture bogatih. ujes, odrasti. Shvati, nije ti krek slistio pamet Sve dok svako misli izgleda I živi k'o amer, Oni e Ii po pare mi u steaj, brate ispaše Da mi finansiramo njihove nove ratne igrake. Budale klicae, na svaku bajku pristae Kako da u klancu istraješ kad si zadnja karika u lancu ishrane? I kad su predatori siti nastavie sa borbama U znak zahvalnosti od srca nagradie nas bombama.
