@ScarredForLife2 Great post and a real memory jog. I completely forgot about these text book types.
They’ll adjourn many a wall nowadays as ‘modern art’. Halcyon days indeed.
When you hear of a pub opening at 8.30pm and closing at 11pm, you must investigate eh.

Bought yet another 99. Been after this particular car for almost 30 years. Picked it up from the delightful owner today, thanks to my mate Glenn…

I can reveal that the original Bernie the Bolt is alive and well. His name is Jeffrey and he worked on The Golden Shot in the late 1960s & early 1970s. When the show ended he suffered a nervous breakdown after being unable to find work loading crossbows. He retreated to the Orkney Islands where he became a successful shepherd. His last public outing was at Bob Monkhouse’s funeral where he revealed himself to mourners but nobody believed him and he was ejected. Jeffrey, an incredible 115, now lives in an Essex care home where residents are unaware of his past glories.
