NGB...You guessed correctly! However,his sister (my stepmother)and father are not so fortunate. No mansion for them.Heather works in a funeral parlour and they live in a flat over the top of it...in Dagenham!
BG legends of the oche? I think they have a big car boot near his house?

They should tap BG for a bit of cash - he can certainly afford it.  He was the most financially astute of all the early professional players.  He won the NOW title twice and always competed in the BDO world championship at Frimley Green but he concentrated on exhibition matches which made him a lot more money.  Obviously he managed the media well and that earned him good money as well.

Hello ralf

I think Trade Unions and manufacturing industries did need reform but she did not do this she destroyed them she became something of a megalomania.  She had no humility or compassion and in the end was the cause of her own downfall.  She was very good to the Police and gave them massive increases in their salaries.  I wonder why.

Yes they was always good to watch. He was the gentleman of the sport but always regarded as the bridesmaid to Bristow.  His wife grew up in the same village as us and my friend played with him when they were the magnificent severn?  He owned a public house called the unicorn and we used to have lockins on a sat night.

I bet those Staurday nights were good!

A very good suggestion Ralf.  Perhaps you could start a new thread on this.

Hi Ralf, I remember the Clay Cross rent rebellion but I've forgotten lots about it, I need to refresh my memory. ;)

if the train drivers joined the miners then the country would stop back then, not easy driving a goods train.
