And there those birds they call "chooks" in Australia,.... Ozy.
Somebody stop me...
Ok let's have a good ganders at what's going on here, I can't imagine Ozy sticking his neck out to far unless he's confident of his facts because he is to shrewd for that. But a Mrs Wilson started some memories moving due to her maiden name Grady, I used to work with a Mick Grady who was a police officer after leaving school from upholand secondary school probably at the same time as our very own Philip Gormley, he was mainly based in Skem at the time. Then when he retired from the Police he moved to Security and I recall him mentioning his relations as Wilson. I could be wrong and if he's reading this please accept my apologies Mick, but I'am just trying join up some coincidences.
