 cannot say that I recognise you, joke. I doubt it, was a local plumber and electrician.

If you're still interested in the table and chairs, add me as a connection so I can email you address details.

No, but Frank Dickens went to my school some years before me (Stationers) and Colin Chapman also. My Stepbrother, John Pullen, was in the same class as Colin. They became best friends for two reasons: their parents were pub landlords (the Railway and The Hope and Anchor), and they both had a fanatical interest in all things automotive. In fact Colin asked John to join him in his opening venture of repairing motorbikes ( which obviously blossomed into greater things), but John preferred a more institutional career and joined. Taylor Woodrow. His Only claim to fame thereafter was that he won the prize for a new firm 's logo. It was used ever since (the four men pulling together on a tug of war). Hope this is of interest?

Thanks, John. That's good advice; one should be careful. On Sunday evening I was making a short speech to about sixty of the Finnegan-Morgan-Morris-Maguire Family Gathering in an Armagh hotel. I'd been organising this since last November, so that's why my brother Barney called on me for a few words. All going well until I just couldn't recall one of my Maguire first cousins' husband's name. "Ah, there's my old friend Al Zheimer knocking at my door again," sez I. Most people laughed. Only later did I see old Francie Mohan, married to a close Morgan first cousin, walking obsessively to and fro among the tables, making his way to the buffet over and over again just to laugh quietly to himself. Afterwards, Carmel told me he'd been diagnosed with Alzheimer's a year ago. So, not such a funny quip after all!
