Roger.The mention of taking a girl to the Pictures jolted the old memory.
My first date, think I was about ten, I took Kathleen to the Odeon to see a pirate film.[must have swiped the money, or she paid]

Re met her some years back while on a visit to England.
Sure glad that romance didn't not blossom.
