hi john good photo, i met your frank but i did'nt know you had a sister, or did i meet her and did'nt know it on our band days.

Is that Mr Shirley ?

Hello Sandra. Glad you like the picture. Seems like only yesterday that me, Billy Summers and Norman Skellon were playing cricket in Ruskin Ave; using the lamp-post (or gas-lamp as we used to call it) as a wicket. Wish I was still doing so. You haven't posted any pic's for a while. . . what's up, are you scared (har har)

Ha Ha - Mr Cunningham I presume (who else) How ya doing pal ?

Not scared at all John I love the old photo's and the memories that they bring back ... I need to get asking my sisters and brother to dig me some out as I have posted all the ones that I had .... watch this space ha ha

Thanks Tony, I'll give Den a ring - it has been ages since I saw him. Regarding my kith and kin : I have two sisters (one younger than me, one older) and I have four brothers, all younger than myself. Quite a gang eh ?

hi john den will love that,and i always thought that there were only you and your frank,so your mam and dad had 7 kids, big family john, so did they not have a telly....lol

Hi Tony. Us kids were born in 2 lots, as it were. A block of four, then a gap of about 10 years, then along came another 3. I don't know why the gap. My Mum used to say that that was just how it worked out - draw your own conclusion there. I remember running home from junior school to watch Popeye, so we must have had a telly by about 1957/8 I suppose. Dad did watch telly (sport and news mainly) but obviously not all the time (Har Har). He worked down't pit, and it still amazes me how he managed to clothe and feed us all. Me and Frank alone could eat for England ! Ah. . . memories.

John am I missing one of you I thought there was your Sheila then You then Frank then Teresa then a gap then Steven then Paul which makes six ?????? I apologise if I have missed someone out the brain don't work the same any more ha ha

Hi Sandra. Yep, you missed one out. The 'second batch' were Steven, David and Paul.

Oh dear how could I forget your David and his drums ha ha ... blame it on the brain cells dying off ...
