My hubby and I were in a Station Café in the Delamere Forest last year when a group of about six bikers came in and sat at the next table. My heart sank as I expected rowdy behaviour and bad language were going to spoil our meal; how wrong I was! They were quiet and well-mannered and I was ashamed of my initial reaction. How wrong we are to judge people on appearance. A lovely photo, Brian.

Giovanni, I am sorry to tell you that Margaret Wall, who you mentioned on an earlier photo, passed away this morning. Brian, I am sorry to have added this information onto your photo.....I realise it has nothing to do with the subject..... but I had no other way of contacting Giovanni except to wait until his, (if Giovanni is a he),name appeared in a comment. My apologies.

Some well attired and stylish gentlemen of yesteryear. Youth of today take note.
