Yep! I’ll gladly pay after hearing that news, mate. Having said that, I suppose that will mean that the whole of the country will descend on Macc for breakfast on me? Well, it’s worth it to have Rigsby around for the foreseeable future. I’m off to the bank in the morning to find out what sort of a loan they will give a bloke of my age on a state pension.
Yes that is good new about Riggers, nice one mate
ROF,
if you let me know the date of next meeting I will foot the breakfast bill but only if Dave is present, at least a weeks notice please!
Can do, Pete. Another of our members needs a week’s notice, but only to give him time to think of an excuse not to pay his turn!

I’m pleased to report that yesterday’s meeting of the Macclesfield Breakfast Club was a great success- well, it was for me as I didn’t have to pay!
On that subject, I regret to report that one of the members who was booked to attend cried off at the last minute, saying that he had an extra job to do. It’s peculiar how this particular person suddenly becomes “unavailable” when he remembers that it’s HIS TURN TO PAY .
Many thanks to Rigsby for turning up and helping to demolish Macclesfield’s entire stock of sausages. Special thanks to Johnny Shepguis who travelled all the way from Germany for the occasion and refused to submit a claim for travelling expenses- a lesson here for others, especially the bloke from the Isle of Man who has spent his entire life fiddling expense dockets. I’m not going to embarrass Johnny by offering thanks for anything else, but it was most welcome.
Rigsby and I made sure our Scottish/German guest was bored out of his mind with tales of, “When we were your age………………….!”
And the breakfast was excellent. Roll on the next meeting, by which time the café should be clear of the diesel smoke!
I thought Bewick was paying ?
That’s even less likely than you, Dan. He didn’t get his multi-million pound pension plan by going round buying blokes breakfast, you know!
Like father like son Dan! I thought that ROF actually cooked the breakfasts himself as a good will gesture to other ‘not so well off as him’ ex drivers who can’t afford a residence in leafy up market Cheshire, I’m surprised that he got professionals involved as they usually want payment?

If you could see the size of my kitchen you would understand why we have to rely on professional help when catering for numbers in excess of one! Just about enough room to swing a cat, providing it’s a Manx and no more that four weeks old. And you can forget the image of “Leafy Cheshire”- this is Macclesfield, the town they built when they were practising for the Moss Side estate.

Well that’s another long standing myth busted then Dave! I was told by ‘somebody’ that the sun shone out of young Dan’s arse but now it seems it actually comes out of his knees?
