Sid Halliwell on the left, Jack Heaton, centre, and Brian ( Herr Bock ) Halliwell on the right. Did you ever throw against Brian whups?, I recall he wasn't a half bad dart player in his day.

You're probably right Howard, I ' suspect ' he bought his ' designer ' shoes and handbags from Cheetham Hill an' all...Miaaow! I also ' suspect ' that a barrel of ale wouldn't have stretched quite as far either whups, with Brian pulling the pints, eh? wink,wink.

Vanity would be in order I suspect.

Neither Ged nor Roy will probably ever read this, but I'm Marion's youngest brother....
....Jack was my eldest brother.
He drove for the corpy for about 12 years up until about 1970 when they began to introduce the o.m.o. system on the buses. He bailed out at that point and went on the tippers, where he remained until the onset of lymphoma forced him into a very short retirement at the age of about 63.
