General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

No, but I knew Ernie Entwistle. And Rachael Entwhistle too (but she didn't work in t'pit!)
The only Scotsman I've ever known was Scots Jimmy (Farley), from Hindley. Well, he was from Gorbals originally, in Glasgow, but he lived in Hindley!
I know of a George Knowles, I think he worked at Bowd, but he'd be in his late seventies / early eighties now. Or older, even. Came from Haydock!

Oh., I forgot, Thelma Entwistle. Rachael's mum!
