This is great reading wee eck but there remains just a little nagging doubt that I'm being hoodwinked and in actual fact you're a 23 year old bird with a wicked sense of humour making up these stories.
I'll have to put you to the test just to prove to myself that you are who you say you are. Question: Can you name one of the actors who played a part in the comedy duo Mick and Montmorency. Clue...Peter? |

I've been a reader for quite a few years now but don't usually feel an urge to comment. However, after reading this thread I felt I had to register a chatname just to say thanks to you all - Stephard, Wood Lane, wee eck, Dr A' etc. Agree with the many others who have stated how much they have enjoyed reading this. Memories are indeed a treasure and as 'Cashless-Looking-Good' said - RESPECT to you guys. Great stuff!
