deecee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 hiya ceedee, i have just looked at the photo of your dad bert and jack simpson, that was a very good snap, remember me telling you your dad and mine were in the same class when they were at school, and when he worked at toms hairdressers in charles st many years ago i reckon it was nearly 60 years ago now, i don't know what school it was mine went to st stephens,crooksmoor and western rd ps when he worked at toms was it a kind of a fill- in job as i recall they had eight barbers at once when they were busy, one that worked at the time was a bernard pitts, his dad worked with my mum at viners, pps just think bert and my dad would have been 100 years old next month. Hiya willybite , yeah I do remember you saying about our dads being at school together , my dad went to St. Stephens and then Crookesmoor . My dad was the manager at Toms in Charles st., and yes Bernard Pitts did work there , him and my dad were best pals ,they both had motor bike and side cars and we used to go on family trips on Sundays ,(when they weren't polishing their bikes together in the garages down Bromley St) small world isn't it , your mum working with Bernard at Viners . We will have to raise a glass next month to our dads 100 th won't we ! It was sad to hear of Sam Marsdens passing , he was a great friend to my dad and my mum , and such a nice bloke . kind regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The mind is willing but the flesh is weak"... PS. Why do I have to inform Mr Winter ? Are we all getting a present...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
