Quite right Beni as MargaretR pulled me up on another thread 3rd to 5th June. Well on the Irish subject, my Grandfather was Irish, he was Fire Chief at the old Steiner's mill of Dill Hall, he was a very proud man and a perfect gentleman, he was a grafter who worked hard raised a family of 4 in a small terraced house on Wesley of Moscow Mill, and was a regular in the Royal every Friday and Saturday nights the rest of the week he never touched a drop, sadly he died when I was only 19, but I did have the privilege of carrying his coffin into St. Marys church. If he had have been alive today and witnessed the behaviour Less was subjected to, I have a feeling he would have cleared the place in two minutes flat, oh I forgot to mention both he and his two sons were boxers and very good at it too
