Willy Harts funeral today down at All Saints Clayton bump into Cashman once more. Good to see him.
Willy had a great send off and as Cashman said " There's more here than'll be at t'Stanley tomorrow"

Willy the last of the Accy Big Boppers. He was clapped out of the church to Eddie Cochran "Come on Everybody"

The funeral leaflet has some great pics from way back.
Mog you will be interested to see a pic of Willy doing his one man bop and another of him and Vic Young quiffed up looking like an advert for Brylcreme.
I'll send you a copy.

Glad to hear that you got there Cashy...the cortege was just going towards Dill Hall when I was coming back from delivering Ma's dinner...was just getting off the bus.
Sad to see these 'good 'uns' go.

"Today I met a Accywebber",I went to meet the vicar of St James's Church who kindly (along with Antony) allowed me to photograph the church and belfry (what a climb

).
Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you in person Ian and thanks again for the wonderful photo opportunity

Met Tealeaf as I was walking downtown, he's in good health but not in a posting mood. Another good 'Un that kept the site insane.

Margaret Pilkington · 14-09-2014, 12:34

Good to hear that he is well, Less.yes the two of you were the irascible 'Morecambe and Wise' of Accyweb(said with the utmost respect).
I will let you work out who was the wise

I met Retlaw in the Blind Welfare shop yesterday.
He brought some history books in, thank you Walter.
I sold three books within the hour, one had some old (1985) hand written notes inside which I removed so if you want them I will keep them for you.

Less · 11-10-2014, 14:14

DIG & his better half turned up, Yay, what a good hour, they've gone on to meet the Stanley crowd,

no doubt they will all be as pleased to see them as I was.

A very pleasant afternoon, good to meet DinG and his lady - somewhat surprised to find I still had hub caps on the car - probably didn't let on where I had parked it.
