hiya,
Getting back to clubs etc’ I once delivered an abnormal indivisible load to the
Caterpillar plant at Uddingston and stayed overnight with one of the workers
from the plant who’s wife had converted a couple of rooms into transport digs
and excellent it was too, During the evening meal the husband asked us if we
fancied visiting his club "There’s a one and sixpence cover charge"and added
but she’s a good turn and worth every penny so several of us went along to the
very friendly club, I had been several times before but when only on booze and
bingo nights he wasn’t wrong about the entertainment one of my favourite acts
of all time and a then top liner being Barbara Dickson who by this time making
a mint, I asked why only one and a tanner for all that talent, and there was no
corners cut in the show, the reply was Oh’ she’s just fulfilling an old booking we
made years ago when she was just a club turn, from the smalltalk amongst the
regulars she’d actually phoned the club and asked did they still want her to show
up and her fee would still be the same as originally negotiated, how many of
them would honour that booking and not want more than the original pittance.
thanks harry, long retired.

On clubs I remember seeing Helen Shaperio when she was 10 years old in the workingmans club in Stratford London, and I have seen her a few times since, even got her autograph in my old Hgv licence. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

1206

I also remember in 1947/8 when Iwas returning from Bantead after my convalescence, with my mother we went into a cafe and had a tea & cake, and I saw Gracie Fields & Wilfred Pickles, they was talking about workers play time. I do wish my mother had got them to sign my autograph book, they was famous in those days. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I know of a ship laden with Irish and Scottish malt whisky, that went down of the coast of Ireland on it’s way to USA. But I wouldn’t tell you lot, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: because you don’t answer this bloody thread, might tell Chris, because it’s nearer to him! :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I don’t even know what whisky tastes like Norm. I have a mate that’s a deep sea diver. I will send him over to look for this ship. :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

1209

Sorry but you are to late Harry & I recovered it some time ago & drank the lot, Ha Ha, Well we couldn’t let it get to much salty water in could we, Regards Larry.

1210

Still worth a reccy Larry, a few bottles might of floated off which yo and Harry missed. :wink:
Cheers Dave.

1211

hiya,
Be careful my Grandson is a self employed deep sea diver living in Conwy
only a short paddle to the Irish Sea and if I talk to him nicely he may get
a window in his very busy schedule and pop down for a few bottles of the
stuff for the next Newcastle drivers “do” and he could bring a few bottles
of the Irish up for Kevmac, now why wasn’t I a deep sea diver instead of a
lorry driver could have made a mint, can you drink whiskey underwater if
so nowt would get to the surface.
thanks harry, long retired.

1212

See that Dave, mention malt whisky and they go crazy like fish after a handful of maggots. I can see them taking a holiday in Ireland. With their diving suit.

1213

Better put an all ports watch out for them Norm. They could be sneaking off after the fire water. :unamused: :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

Cheers Dave.
