I know who he is, along with Big Daddy, Gorgeous Gus & Adrian Street, Mick Macmanus, those faraway Saturday afternoons on ITV Sport waiting for the Footy results or Friday nights with my Granddad at the Liverpool Lyceum & Empire, all in & tag wrestling.

Used to stop at my Gran & Grandads on a sat night. Would watch the wrestling with my Gran then we had to sit in silence whilst my Grandad got his football results. Those were the days, Dickie Davies & K(b)ent Walton.
Watching the hill climbs on Grandstand.

Silence in the house - - my dad used to get his pen, the Saturday paper and religiously write down every score in the league. (Don't know who the news reader was but you knew by the tone of voice if it was a home win, away win or a draw)

If you were in the room, then you had to be deathly quiet or suffer the anger of your dad. If you were out of the room, you wouldn't enter because you would break your dads concentration

(He never won more than a few quid in his entire life)

I received this the other day.

Dear Graham,
The missing drain cover is not on the adopted highway. The drain cover is the responsibility of British Telecom and is part of the drainage system serving the telephone exchange building. I called at the exchange this morning and a BT representative promised to resolve the situation.
