Yes, I had a pen-and-ink sketch in The Summer Show. It must have been around 1975. I was married but had no children at the time. Peter was working away and my Mam and Dad went with me to the show. I remember it was lovely, walking round with my parents, in a Park where they had taken me so often when I was little, and I felt like a child again, ESPECIALLY when we caught the bus home!.....A well-known Ince Character, (a lady who shall remain nameless), spotted us and BELLOWED down the bus to my Dad, "Is that thi' dowter, Bob?". "Aye", he said, whereupon the lady, who could whisper over three fields, boomed, "'Ow owd is 'er?", which wouldn't have been so bad if I was six, but my Dad had to say, "Twenty-two". Have you ever had one of those moments when you want the earth to open and swallow you up?!!
