hiya,
I would say Mr Dunbar yes at 76 he has to be shown some respect I’m just a bairn at 75 and only a semi skilled Geordie having lived in this area just over half my lifespan but I do like this part of the world so they won’t throw me out without a struggle plus the wife wouldn’t let them and she’s fully qualified bless her.
thanks harry long retired.

I will be 65 next June and look forward to retirement. It would be good if we could have that reunion of MAT lads Archie before we all get too bloody old to get about.

P S I have a fridge magnet which says " I didn’t say it was your fault I said I was going to blame you " and another which says " marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband "

Well lads back from Iof W and enjoyed it, I got on the main coach at junction 15A services and said everyone OK, they shouted “YES”, I said I soon Blooming change that. they all said after the tour that it was the best trip they had been on, and it was the company of people that made it. I gave them nick names , Duston Dolls, Pirate Pete, Captain Birdeye, I even told Graham the driver to get bigger wiper blades, because I couldnot see where I was driving, there was only three on the coach younger than me1 Hotel was next to the pier,yuk yuk I had a nice pick up from my bank ( Ladbrokes )
