PENNY, EXCUSE ME USING ALL CAPITALS; HAVE BROKEN MY ARM! I DON'T
THINK IT'S THE SAME MARTIN KENNY; THIS ONE WOULD PROBABLY BE LATE 70S/80 NOW; HE WAS NOWHERE NEAR MY PARENTS' AGE....HE JUST KNEW THEM, AS MOST PEOPLE AROUND THAT AREA DID. PERHAPS IT WAS YOUR BROTHER? IT WASN'T MY MAM WHO WAS THE DINNER-LADY; IT WAS MRS. GRIMSHAW....SHE LIVED IN OUR ROW BEHIND THE PRESBYTERY WALL AND ALSO HAD A DAUGHTER CALLED IRENE. ..... KENNY, THE SONG WENT: WE'RE OFF, WE'RE OFF, WE'RE OFF IN A MOTOR-CAR.....TWENTY BOBBIES ARE AFTER US BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE......JAMES, I REMEMBER HAROLD MELLING'S; I ACTUALLY HAD CLOGS WHEN I WAS A VERY SMALL CHILD IN THE 50S, AND I REMEMBER WHALLEY'S TEMPERANCE BAR TOO. HAPPY DAYS!
