Recommended Posts

Hi Paul You may remember my Daughter Julie who used to babysit for Alan and Pauline She say's Zak the dog was a big softie

 

At that time Alan lived with his parents on Pyebank Drive with a doberman someone said the dates were out thinking about it the doberman may have been around in the late 70s early eighties.

Is his Father called Alan to...I read recently his Mother passed away in April or May this year.

its only a few weeks ago I saw her in there white Micra.

For the record what was your Daughters surname.

You must be able to remember the Cottinghams then John. Margaret the mom. Kevin one of the lads. Joanne the daughter. She was a bit of a looker. My dad always tried to encourage me to ask her to go out wi me. But was a shy lad in them days lol.

 

Yeah, i remember them..think they had a house at bottom of stairs from bottomley's, path ran in front of there house down to the Highway pub.!

 

Think one of the girls married a guy who lives just down the road from me...i will ask him when i see him next time.!

I remember Alan and his driving exploits, spent many a happy and gringeing time around Derbyshire with him.:)

 

Re;Alan Roberts driving exploits, original boy racer, who can remember some of his wheels? monkey bike, vespa, hillman imp and the orange Bond Bug three wheeler, Lotus cortina, (I think) plus many more.
