They must be fantastic resource for all those precious memories, Lizzie. I never managed to keep a diary going for more than a few weeks.

You've got me wondering whether I'm getting my Sheriffs and Outlaws mixed up now. I'm sure others will know.

Mick Piggott has sadly passed away recently for those who knew him , not sure of his age but lost his life to cancer - Rest In Peace Mick

That's so sad. Earlier in this thread I said I used to train at same gyms as Mick in the '60s and '70s. A very affable, pleasant guy. We used to call him Les (as in Lester). Really saddened me. Remember us all being in our early '20s. RIP my old friend.

Stu, used to manage the Pretty Windows back in the '80s. Sorry to hear about his health. We once has a serious altercation but we got over it.

Knew stu before he took the pretty windows, when he did a bit of door work here and there. He used to be friends with geof ash who used to do the door at the mint bar under the Albany on maid Marion way. Sorry to hear about his bad health, he was one fit guy in his time.
