People   (Re-unions, trace old friends and relatives.)

I started work at Smith dairies a round with a chap named Teddy Bracegirdle(there's a name to conjure with). I still am a friend of Dick Bibby who lived in Chatham street, His dad Tommy was the knocker up I think you are on about, he used to love playing 5s and 3s in the old bush which was the pub we all went in, I very much remember Sunday afternoons, if you didn't get in there for just after 12 and get your name on the board for a game of dominoes you had had it. As regards motor bikes I bought one in July 1963 on a Saturday from Millers across from moat house street, a Royal Enfield 250 red and chrome, by Tuesday I was in Wigan infirmary with my right leg in plaster off work for 6 months the bike back to Millers because i could not afford to pay for it and still had to pay half, a grand total of £56.10shillings
