I got a red card from one of our grannies for mentioning a local butcher, but I know when I was eating hovis as a young lad, the same butcher made an excuse every Friday when the Golden Eagle arrived in a packet, he would make his excuses and appear full of health and rosy cheeks on Monday a 'Made Man'
ta fer that Roy mate.
