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.

Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

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!!!:rolleyes:

Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

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.

Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

Wrong end of Town mate, the Jenny is near Mt Carmel (Holy Family) St Christopher's is on Queens Road

Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

I've had a beer or two in The Pegasus in Aldershot a few moons ago, which was the Paras favourite pub, they used to have their own version of Pub Games, sticking there heads on the pool table whilst someone smacked a cue ball against it as hard as they could, and stapling beer mats to their heads, were two of the gentler ones i can put on a family forum!! ....not for the fainthearted i'll tell ya!!:D
