He never used to take milk in tea or coffee and told a story of a pub/club ride-out. They arrived at the breakfast stop and he had cornflakes with a pint of mild in place of the milk.

Ah yes, Barnes St Chippy...that was Johnnys favourite ever Chippy, he used to read copies of the Sports Pink in there, to find out scores of cricket matches he had actually been too....mostly in the Bar of course!! Lol!
On the Chippy front...David Lloyd once told the story that he saw JW sat on a wall eating Fish, Chips n Peas with a Pudding on top. He asked JW why he was eating them there, because he only lived a few mins walk away, JW replied " If i take these in i wont get any supper"!!
Mind you David Lloyd has also used that story, about Jack Simmons too, in fact that very delicacy was actually called a "Simmo" in Clayton St Chippy in Gt Harwood for some years!
Would certainly have been an interesting contest of trenchermen between JW and JavaScript, but i know who i'd have backed on the drinking front!!

PS your right about the milk...he didn't like it....nor butter either, couldn't stand it on his Muffins!!....He did like Pepper on Strawberries though!!! |
