How could I EVER forget that, voices in the head experience , totaly did my head in for ages. Nearly as bad as the time coming back from Warrington on a bank holiday, and as usual stopping of at Keele services. There was a massive que of holiday makers with trays waiting to be served, as I only wanted a cup of tea, I didn't take a tray and waited for my turn, trying not to look out of place , or catch anybody elses eye . When I finaly got served and I asked for "just a cup of tea", I was given a cup, saucer, jug of milk, tea pot and pot of hot water. My eyes nearly came out on stalks, I had to walk all the way back past everyone to get a tray, with everyone looking at me and tutting. I have never felt so paranoid in my life , I dont think that I spoke for the rest of the day.... Good job we can all look back and have a laugh about it now

Think that's Walsall Rod in the foreground. Cheers, Mark R

Hi Mark, As promised a pic of the old A60 van we used to go up and down the country in, long before the seat belt law, and health and safety n all that. It might have been grey primer when you knew it, If you look on the Blackburn t.v. documentary you can see it at the end parked outside. Happy days

Hi Joan, Wasn't the same this year at Cleethorpes without you, was good to chat with you and your man at the bar last year. Hope you are both keeping well, can't believe how many old names are on this forum. Has everyone forgoten about baggy Dave and Alison? Not to mention Ian Stacy.

You nearly got it right, I ran a guest house at Mallory Park untill upping roots and moving to Alderney in the Channel Islands (no we dont speek French at we arn't near Jersey, but we the closest Island to France) Great fun living here, but a logistical nightmare to get to nighters, so only tend to do the weekenders nowerdays.

Yeah, I remember that scoot, and it did have a rat on it. Last time I saw Colin, he had just bought a new vespa, had it for about a week and thought what the f**k and choped it in for a big bike. He was living in Derby at the time, this must have been round about 1995. The Durkopp scoot that I had is now in Beaulie motor museum and I've still got my LI 2 that I use most days for getting around the Island.

O.M.G. That is Chad (not seen him for years), Dave Wheeler ( last time I saw him has Bretby in about 98 and at that time he was living in the very top part of Scotland in a croft), Sarah Ward, Sharron Harris aka "panda"( she ended up marrying Briam Mickelwright aka "pickle", "spin", they had a house together in Barwell, but it all ended with Pickle selling everything in the house to get his next fix. The last I saw of her she was very happily settled with her new Guy, Me, and Gaz Keen in front. Great pic, will have to have a rummage and see what I can find Andy Newman

I recon that it is actually a very young Colin Bonham,who went out with Jane right at the back.
