    Jim
    Your welcome to them, we've had to put up with em for around 1500 years coming over doing their raping and pillaging. LOL
    Wonder if they will be singing "Row, Row your boat, merrily down the stream" as they fight the tide up the Mersey.
    Downstairs at the P & W will be crammed I suspect and perhaps Liverpool fathers should be advised to lock up their daughters unless they wish to become accustomed to such delights as Reindeer Cheese, very expensive Beer and gaudy woollen sweaters.
    Have a great time

    My family tree and name takes me back 1500 years to Ormskirk which is a Viking name and a Viking settlement and village.

    #6... Brian you dont have a Reggie in your family nest do you, same surname as yourself. Sailed with him, he was chief Steward, had been an officers batman during the war. He was great chums with Danny La Rue, and both appeared in the stage show "Soldiers in Skirts" after the war. Had altered his D.O.B. in his discharge book. No Q.... like an old Q.... Was a very good Ch. Stwd. however, only if you have one you get the lot, the only straight one was the Chief Cook, however were no problem and very reliable. Dont suppose Reggie would still be alive now as was no spring chicken then. Cheers John S

    We have managed to stop the boats arriving here in Oz, looks as if we might have to give your gov a few tips if the boats are starting up again.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
