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

I saw him a month or so ago wandering round the "sunday car boot" in accy. It was snowing at the time and he had his hanky on, my brother and I were a little bit confused by him, being snow and not sun lol

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.
