Lawrence what a character what a nice bloke.

Remember his funeral, one of my sons knew him through the police , he was always getting chew, anyway he said I don’t know if anybody will turn up so what say we turn up..
Nice sunny afternoon, we turned up, you couldn’t get near the place.

Well done to you Snowy for attending. I can only wish I had made the effort but didn't think about it at the time

Knights, that takes me back..when my dad was home from sea he’d send me down town age 9 to get his list of food specials and the smell of coffee, the white coated staff and hams are etched in my memory…ironically as I walked out of the shop one morning I was then 12 and he’d kept me off school for the day and as I stepped outside the bus with the lads from my class coming back from the baths passed by and were waving at me. Luckily the teacher never even noticed.
