The way your holding that pint Keith it look's as though you've been at it for some years, note fag behind ear or is it a joiners pencil. Dave

that was part of the dress code to make you one of the boys in them days.and its not a joiners pencil,it was a capstan full strength ear extension.by the way Dave ,Roy was Phil's best man.what about the hanky in his top pocket,there was a dress code in posh pubs in them days.the place was awash with antique's as you can see behind us
