Just a little tale of the afore mentioned West Berlin club across the road from the Londra Camping, back in about 76 I was working for the infamous Popley brothers out of Dartford and was stuck in Istambul for a few days with paperwork problems so myself and one of their other drivers Steve went in the W/B for a beer; after refusing the attentions of a couple of experts of the horizontal pleasures for a while we decided to cut our losses and pay up before it got really expensive. We paid half each and received a load of change, unusual in itself we did’nt hang about making our exit only to find upon divvying up the change that we had got more back than we’d paid, not often a Turk has himself over.We must have been the only people to come out of there with more than we went in with, especially when as I heard it they pulled the building down there were several skeletons found underneath, can anyone else verify that?

Chazzer, the last time I was in there was in 1977, I know a few people in there was shot, so I am not surprised that old bodies were found, it was a dangerous place to be in, if you did not behave yourself, but myself have no proof of what you have said, but being a betting man, I would say it is a 5to 1 on chance of being true 
Harry & Dave, I wish I had as much money as you think I have 
, also the other couple come from Stocport

thanks harry long retired.
Harry, do you know the Eden Arms, that is a Shearings Hotel at Durham, I am going to get a cheap weekend, and meet you, and check your wallet, I have inside information from Ladbrokes, that you are loaded.
hiya,
Yes the Eden arms never been in there but have passed it many times it’s on the original A1 now the A167 just a few miles south of Durham,a bit like a motel type establishment it’s on a roundabout right for Coxoe left for Spennymoor/Bishop Auckland if you’re going northwards about 15 miles south from my place.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, that is quiet a walk away, after a couple of appletizers, I thought it would be nearer than that, when I read Durham on the list,hmm I will have to have a think about it?
hhiya,
Norm i can’t walk 15 minutes let alone 15 miles, that place is a bit out in the sticks there’s nothing there except sheep.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, if you was having a bet at Ladbrokes, do you walk far then.
hiya,
Norm it’s a bus pass job, bus drops me off/picks me up right outside my local “investment brokers” it’s a one stop job.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, you alway was lucky, if I have to bus, it is at least three stops, I am dreading not being able to drive, bowls & a bet. 
hiya,
Shh don’t talk about cars and driving, i have’nt got another motor yet and the old lady has’nt mentioned it for a few days, might get away without having to bother.
thanks harry long retired.

Buy a moterbike Harry,become a born again biker.
Cheers Dave.
Harry at your age and your condition, you must be eligible for a three wheel electric buggy 
hiya,
Dave would have a motorbike tomorrow but haven’t got the licence now it returned from being renewed at Swansea a lot of years ago without being added and never noticed until about 12 years ago when i was going to buy a bike to get to and from work, the dealer spotted the omission when i produced my licence for ID purposes decided it would be too much trouble to try and get it back so the biker dream came to an end, now Norman let me deal with you, you cheeky young whippersnapper invalid three wheeler indeed, when i need one of them there’s a steep bank just outside my house and i’ll go down it in silent seventh having disconnected the anchors first, splat.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Same here with moterbikes,had a full license for them,but after my RTA had to forget that part of my license,not that I,m worried about it,prefer to be in the warm and dry,did enjoy bikes years ago.I like a bit more comfort these days.
Cheers Dave.
Tell you what Dave, you try help some people with their transport problem, you put forward a valid idea, and what happens, you get villified and called names, what is this world comming too, not only the youngsters are a problem, the senior citizens are getting huffy!
Hi Norman,
You had better watch your step,you will be getting some wheel hubs thrown through your window,or 1100x20 tyre marks on your lawn, if you upset that driver,from the North East.
Cheers Dave
