Been trying to lead me astray. Re statement about buying drink at the bash. I wrote that when I was tired and emotional. However I will do what I promised. It just means that I will be on starvation rations till the bash. Hey Ho.Re the old brewery. I think that they are having a problem selling. Hope you and yours are well

Hi Charlie… Reading about your plight… ( old fashioned word you’re sure to know )
I’m interested in sending you some unused Green Shield Stamps , to help out??
There’s enough to get a deep fat fryer or two bottles of hair dye… The choice is yours.
I’m reminded by FB that we’ve been " Friends " for four years…
However , I think we first met on the great ship Viking Valiant around 73/74 and I mistook you for Clark Gable and asked for an autograph?

A big Birthday coming up I hear John??
Cheers, Balders.

A good place to eat nevertheless, but a few months ago I stopped over at the big one further south, Casse Croute Charentais, for the first time ever and found it very good too. Quieter now as well since they recently by-passed it with a continuation of the dual carriageway N10, but you have to look out for the big signs on the new road if you don’t want to miss it. 
Yeah , I saw the signs for that place Spardo … Will check it out next time…
Whilst we’re on the subject… What was the cost of a Routier meal back in the day?? Say mid 70’s…?
I have it my mind it was around 10 Francs?? New or old I can’t remember…
Or the exchange rate!
Filet Hareng was my first starter when a greeny at the forge near Rouen… Seemed very exotic at the time, lol!
Stu. 1972 Average was 12ff. Or 1 pound sterling. Regards Charlie
I wasn’t far out then Charlie…
You wouldn’t get much for a quid these days eh.
What was the Bung for the Customs at Le Havre? Sorry " Coffee Money "
You have a good memory for an impoverished old chap of 92…

In the early days Stu it was 10ff but gradually went up to 20ff. Couldn’t
get a coffee for that now. What do you mean " No bad for 92. Cheeky
young whippersnapper. 91. Regards Charlie
