The bulldog used to chase a gang of us and we all scattered.
I was about 9or10 at the time; the dog if you can think back was a churchill type, and it could certainly run, a lot faster than the todays bulldogs. Anyway Albert, you haven't changed much since last I saw you, let me in to the secret.

Bert, whippets and ferrets from the animal world are all i remember from those days, also remembering two lads that are no longer with us, your George and John Simm.

hi peter and roy still puzzled about the bulldog this one was named spot your right roy we did have whippets and ferrets plus peter not much hair now

I had heard about George (my commiseration to you Albert) but not about John; I am slightly out of touch here. Albert, when you put not much hair now, do you mean, the dog, me, or yourself? The colour of the bulldog was predominantly white, with a few black patches, I assumed it was your dog Albert as it was nearly always there when you were; a friendly dog until some person tormented it. I remember 'Spot'.

hi peter sad to say edith and esther also pass away i think i must have been about fourteen here

Hello There Albert. That's really very sad loosing three; is your Jimmy still as tough as ever?

Give my regards to Jimmy please Albert. You mentioned Mans' two worst enemies there; Oily Rags and Time.
