Thank you all for your kind remarks.Today was one of those days, did a little bit of travelling, jobbing and visiting old mates, like master stocker Ken Dawson, down at Bilbrook (Wolverhampton), Wisemans, Mike Dingley (Ex-Scott Checkerer) finally ending up at York & Wallin Lockmakers.Remembering the days when in the 60's the Old men would go and have a skinfull of beer at lunchtime while us young uns would go to The Surfside Stop coffee bar in Soho road.Remembering the day that Christian Ashthorpes daughter was sent to the Proof House with a load of barrels for proving, but didn't make it because every time she had gone there with her Dad, she remembered seeing a pigeon drinking from a pothole in the road full of water, but when she was on her own she couldn't find the pigeon or the street.He was not amused when she got back without delivering the barrels.
