Hey Bubbles

You're dead right ~ my lights went out looooonnnggggg time ago!!  (Besides, I thought I was retired?).

Clive Symes

Michael, you will need to get Barent Mathee and Terry Holland to log onto the site because, by my reckoning  one of them are destined to turn out the lights & " fold up the bridge"

Robert Bruce

I bet it is Terry who has to switch off the lights  :D

Terry lurks around this site, but has yet to register, he corrects me with the names on photo's whenever he see's me in the shop....   ;)

Welcome George

Check out your site , Very impressive.

Michael Alexander

George, I was just talking to my father, Jock Alexander, He remembers you very well, He recalls in 1973 you and your wife, he thinks, Illse, were also Folk singers, and with my dad and a few others you lot sang at a Scout fund raising event. My father used to carry a bottle of whisky in his guitar case, and you were all talking about a piece of land on the border of Germany and France that changes hands with each war, somewhere along the line you both spoke french to each other without realising that you had switched...

Anyhow my father sends his regards...

ps... I visited your website, nice, aber meinen Deutsch ist nicht ser gut!
