Yeah, life catches up with you, doesn't it. I like the John Lennon quote: "Life is what happens while you're making other plans."
BTW, I'm 72.

Spiders old man gave me some advice once. "Never go in a house with a little red light outside. That's a Watney's house and the ale is bloody awful." He was quite correct.

Ma Ryans was more of a corner shop with a few wooden benches
you could sit on .It was full if five people were in
It was not the most hygenic place on earth and old
Ma Ryans personal hygine would not pass the test today
believe me

I used to live in 'little' Sun St. I remember Bob Martins and with the same fondness as all of you, but does any one remember Miss Heggie's on the corner of Sun St and Watson St? It was a general store. What I remember most about it was the advert on the ceiling with massive bull on it. I think it advertised Bovril.
