Re: looking back

That name rings a bell, but at the moment can't think why.

Re: looking back

I can remember him vaguely from when I was a lad.
I think his next door neighbour was called Mister Wilson.

Re: looking back

He used to be on the radio, and if my memory serves me, looked a bit like Jimmy Krankie, the ageless schoolboy.

I remember that he was opening something at Oswaldtwistle Townhall in 1968, when I was three. I found him so scary at the time that I cried.
