Well known round the pubs in Platt Bridge is he still gong strong not seen or heard anything about him for years. He was always in the King Billy and Queens.

Will ask around. His brother Edward was in my class at school.

Thanks Broady

peter g.
I have just had an e-mail to say Tommy has been out for the last three Sundays. He goes with his brothers and has one pint. He is in sheltered accommodation in Moss lane but by all accounts is doing well which is good news. He was in the King by the way.

peter g was speaking today of Ian (Eddie) Edwards and Peter Burrows who also frequented the said places

That's good news to know he's ok. broady thanks. Also Pey Burrows, beep54, not seen Pey since the Owd Hall days when we used to watch the rock band on Fri and Sun nights what a character he was passing a sweaty motorbike boot round full of ale and swigging out of it. Happy days. Is Pey ok?

Lost contact in the 70s but bumped into him few years ago, he is ok, still as mad as a brush.

He worked with my dad at LUT depot, He once threw a firework in the chip range at the chippy in Lower Ince and blew the shop up.

Can believe that, my Brother worked at LUT

peter g/ beep 54: Do you remember any of the others that used to knock about with Pey Burrows and Eddie Edwards?

some do you know any uncle?

Some, yes. Dickie Sharples, Jimmy Wilkie. There may have been others as well.

Sorry joe I cant remember any just those two it was years ago

There was a Dickie Sharples in my class at school. Lived in Hindley last time I heard. Saw him in the King probably fifteen years or so ago.

Peter g it is so loooonnnng ago I remember going to Peter's home to see Yellow Sub on the television Peter's brother told me that there would soon be a machine that you could record on and watch again and again, didn't seem possible but hey ho,uncle joe, there was Barry AKA Jigger

Pey once saw three men beating up one lad he pulled up his car jumped out and said let's even this up a bit he pasted one guy and the other two just ran off terrified.

Bang on He is a good lad

beep54: the brother would be Ger, would it not? At a guess, you and I will know each other.
