Cheers for your info folks, What about Jimmy Whittle does any one remember him. He was a squaddie for a while I believe. May have changed his name to Pickering but not sure. Speaking of old friends does anybody remember Tez Beardsmore. Jet black hair like a ted. He married a lass from Royds street about 1966. Think he had twins. Called them Paul and Paula after the song. Was best man at his wedding but havent seen or heard from him since.

Once went out with a lad called Anthony Petifer (thought it had two 't's not 1)
He used to go up Springhill Youth Club on Saturday nights. Could he be the same one?
