Met him in Norwich in the 70s,staying at the same Hotel bought me a drink,seemed good bloke,find it all very sad,just a shame its took all these years,feel sorry for his family.Things were very different back then but men touching women inapropabley is always wrong and when it comes to kids........well there are no words.

  6. In the nottingham Post today they are talking about a Ferry' service down the Trent from Queens drive park and ride' to the 'football and cricket grounds" depending on government funding.
