Miss him sitting in the shop chowing the rag , like Slinney he remembers every detail of our early days , They tell me things I forgot about a long time ago . He spends a lot of his time in his place at Bergau in Portugal and goes in my Pal's bar there. I haven't seen him since Corona started, before that he was over for Jevvy's Birthday do with his Son.

When I see those suites the David Bowie wore and where considered the hight of fashion it makes me laugh , we wore them years before in Sheffield . Red and Black checked , no collar and so on .
