Janice,as an old Downall Greener, I remember both of these guys. I'm sure they will be thrilled to have pics of themselves wearing girls cossies, for all the world to see..lol.

Hi Janice, Well I just love this photo but as Janet says don't think Jim & Geoff will be that impressed though hopefully they will be ok about it. Must say Geoff is even posing in his cozzy LOL!

Hi Janice, great photo. Jim and Geoff will never live it down. It gave me a laugh and I am sure Geoff's sister, Christine, will be in fits. I've not seen Jim for years, if you see him ask him if he remembers the Rectory School trip to Ripon Cathedral or "that Ripon dump" as we called it.

Hiya Lyndon,no we've not see Jim for a while but i'm sure we will when he sees this. We missed Geof yesterday but will see him in the next day or two let you know what he says, well probably not, wont be able to print it.

Jim Frodsham is my Dad and I've never seen him like that before!!! He's off on holiday in a few weeks to hide!!!

Hiya Michaela, i was speaking to your auntie Ann the other day she said your Dad swore that it was her who had put the photo on not knowing that someone else had got a copy. After swimming the Channel, he became a lorry driver!!lol. take a look on the album soon.

Hi Janice, think my Auntie Ann got blame for alot!! At least my dad is laughing about it, although he keeps getting asked is he taken his cozzie on his holidays!!! Really liked seeing photos, nice to see my Grandma, as I never met her but would love to see some of my Grandad.
