Do you remember what he was like when anyone was smoking next to him. Seem to remember that he didn't approve of smoking. Well before the smoking ban this of course.

Yep he used to have one of those little battery operated fans Bernard for when he was playing Crib or Dominoes!!!...Was always falling out with Mary Aspinall in the Gt Eastern about it!!! Lol!......When we came back from Spain once, we were at Baggage carousel at Man airport, chap stood next to Johnny was having a fag, and Johnny reached across in front of him and started wafting this blokes smoke away, abour 6 inch from his nose...the air turned blue, and luckily for Johnny this chaps wife calmed him down and moved him away, otherwise i think Johnny might have been going round with the cases!!!....It could be a dangerous passtime being Johnny's mate sometimes!!!

Your right, it was the Jenny and it was Fern Gore! I was born on Wordsworth Avenue before the school was there, is it the Holy Family??? Any ideas what was there then if anything? 1953 that was.
