Makes you mad Val doesn't it. I hate it when people get away with stuff.
In particular, I m in contempt of folks who buy items in the pub, obviously stolen & thereby encouraging further offences.

Re: Over Fifty years ago I was.....

Oh, I absolutely loved that Young Robert, it has made me laugh, when really I am sad today, because of my loss today. So thank-you personally for cheering me up. x

I did a little bar work, years and years ago. I used to have a cup of coffee behind the bar, but, and shhh, I used to put a few tots of brandy in it.

No doubt about it Val, he had a group of blokes in tow, listening to him in the pub.

Scoundrels are scoundrels, the worst ones legitimise themselves and are usually "Winkers".

Another two nuggets from your mine of golden memories RJ, you have a special way of telling a tale, long may you have it.

I think you should have written a book of all your tales Robert, I'm sure it would have been a good seller

Re: Over Fifty years ago I was.....

Thank you master Junior, I enjoyed that. I often wonder if anyone is interested by anything I have to offer, and over the years I have found it to be so.
Everyone has tales to tell, and someone, somewhere will be interested to hear it.
