Tony .
Join the club, at nearly 91 I am starting to miss remembering peoples names, I now use the alphabet, one of our barmaids is called Abby I think first and second letters of the alphabet and I got it, another is Ingrid, I think now in#side for a beer, the funny thing is that all my attempts come up better than remebering it straight out.
Des.
PS. I'm good at counting the change, LoL
