It's in the air.

I went to school near Stockport in the late sixties and in my class it was 75% City with those that were interested in football.. One lad supported Altrincham, and used to wear a lapel badge saying Altrinchampions which amused me.

I did a solo tour of the South Coast in 1969 on my Honda 90 (Sports) taking in Bude, Lands End, Beer, Weymouth, Poole/Bournemouth and Brighton. Cost me a fortune in petrol at 6s/4d a gallon.

Quite simply, Marriage is a gamble, a huge gamble. Look before you leap is my advice. You only get ten years for murder. (I've been married 43 years, guess I've been lucky)

Religion.......it stinks. More wars fought over it the last two thousand years than anything else. wtf is wrong with people?

I'm 70 and only just retired, but it was my own business, so a bit different, and the last few years I have only been working reduced hours. I am in decent health, so hope to go a good while yet. A good mate of mine (and Bill Walkers) just dropped dead last year aged 69, and he was as fit as a...

Fantastic photo Bill. Good luck.
