Was once in Majorca flashy, when the Brother-in-law turned up at our hotel, dressed in sandals with grey socks on, khaki shorts, string vest, and and a knotted hanky on the head, now that was a site to behold believe me

Re: Accy Characters
Actually "Uncle Dick" came from Blackpool, his assistants at Accrington were his wife "Sadie" and Brother in Law "Fred". before he came to the markets he worked on the golden mile at Blackpool.
