Hiya,
There you go, at least Pete won’t be renewing his membership of the fan club,
thanks harry, long retired.
Too blooming right I wont! No magazine, no badge, no discounts on single malts, I haven’t had value for money in my opinion so the tenner I will save on membership will get spent elsewhere. Probably buy the missus a nice pressie instead, she will appreciate that
Pete.
Hiya,
Ah’ so it was you that sent the tenner Pete, bleedin’ Monopoly money and how
could I forward your goodie bag to “Robin Hood Sherwood Forest” without the
house number.
thanks harry, long retired.

Yes Harry, it was me that sent that shiny ten pence piece. Have to confess I expected something in return, however as I didn’t include my address (shouldn’t have made any difference really, plenty of other cr*p mail finds me OK with no address) I will reluctantly concede that it was my fault, sorry. Anyway, I wont be renewing so that is ten pence you will have less to spend on the Demon Drink.

Hiya,
Spend money on demon drink, tut tut, I’ll have you know that all subs to the HGFC,
go to charity namely “The poor children’s fathers beer money association” of which
I’m sole recipient, and of course being all heart the money is invested in brewery
shares which I pay over the counter of my local boozer on a nightly basis.
thanks harry, long retired.

Fair play Harry, you are all heart, donating all that money to keep those men at the brewery in work. You should have an honour off her majesty for all the kindness shown.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
No Dave, I might just get lumbered with a knighthood and to be honest I,
“at my age” do have problems getting upright from the kneeling position
but I’d gladly accept a few bob from the royal ■■■■■ transferred to the
PCFBMA, being called Sir wouldn’t suit me I couldn’t keep a straight face.
thanks harry, long retired

Lord Gill of Chester le Street sounds better dexterboy, he could have a paid for gaff in London and get a few hundred pounds a week,just for kipping in the House of Lords,and if he gave Tebbitt a few kicks now and again, all the labour peers would buy him drinks.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Thanks chaps for all the proposed “honours”, but at the end of the day I am unable
accept anything other than my first name untainted by any prefixes to become a
lord or a sir would mean accepting bungs and if a lord just turning up at the house
for a wad of cash and of course the obligatory kip, bleedin’ rogues the lot of them.
thanks harry, long retired.

Better leave you as plain Harry Gill, as in a journalist called plain John Smith.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
That’s settled then " Harry Gill Esquire" dead horse and donkey buyer, as my Grandad used to say.
thanks harry, long retired.
My old man used to refer to people as that Harry. I forgot about it, until you quoted it.
Cheer Dave.
Hiya,
Yes Dave, it was commonly used terminology in my young days my father would blurt it out
in a not very complimentary way usually directed at someone he didn’t particularly like.
thanks harry, long retired.

Same here Harry, my Dad used to come out with all sorts of sayings and witty remarks about various things, half of which I have forgotten, until I see them used elsewhere.
Cheers Dave.
There was a young lady who lived not far away from our house when I was young ,she used to go to the Saturday dance at the American air base at Burton wood and I don’t know why but it was always Sunday dinner when she arrived home (smirk) without fail my mother would see her and say ,there she is fur coat no knickers
Norman Ingram:
If my memory is up to it, I can remember my gran refering to a chap as Harry golightly for he was a little dodgy.
hiya,
Oi’ Sandman there’s nowt dodgy about this Harry, I actually had a workmate
when at the BRS named Golightly now he was a bit dodgy.
thanks harry, long retired.
kennyjohnson:
A few naughty boys from your neck of the woods Harry.
From the Northern Despatch 1963
Regards Ken
Hiya,
Sorry Ken I didn’t arrive in this neck of the woods until about 1971ish so you can’t
tarnish my “clean and unblemished record” at that time would have been doing
mainly Scottish runs in 1963.
