Hi Tony y i may need some help between now and next June when i walk from John a Groats to Lands End i have said that i would strive to raise 100,000 pounds.I need to make contact with companies to achieve this sum so any help will be good.
Hi Nigel, I had some great times with A Sqn, Ginge Borley, Stan Thompson, George Sexton, Pete Why, Sambo Parkes, Bob Moon, Billy Stocker et al. Great memories.
Hi Roger some good guys there, ginger came over to Aussie for a holiday i have is phno if you want it, Stan i understand is still Stan i trained with a Romford brewery and my trainer was a X detective he informed me Stan was a major Crim,George had a heafrt attack when confronting someone over his daughter,Pete Why and I have stayed friends in Aussie since 1972 he is currently on holiday with ginger Ray has also been in contact with Bob Moon BUT Billy Boy big hands BIlly i got a bottle over my head on my 21st God bless him last i heard was on the rubbish collection trucks.
Hi Nigel I shared a room with Stan and got on very well with him, a good bloke. I know he did 10 years on Dartmoor and the last I heard of him was in the 70's I think. The IRA busted one of their members out of Brixton Prison, there were two other people in his cell (they both took the opportunity to escape with him) and Stan was one, the papers described his profession as a taxi driver. Have you heard anything of Bernie Ringrose? Please give Pete Why my best wishes when you see him again.
Hi sack,nice to know your still in touch with Pete Why and Tony boon over in your part of the world Just been reading Rogers comments,all those names bring back memories.let me know the dates when you are doing your walk and I will see what I can do to help.Your old mate Tot Flude

Tot and Tony we have got approval from Whitehall so all systems go,great to be Roger Ray did some checking on Bernie and he still lives in Crawley area but spends a lot of time in India.Apparently he picked albert finney up one night with two of his mates carried him into a top restaurant and aid for everything because you more than likely know Albert is now in a wheel chair, i liked Stan i remember when we did Asqn bar he took the sgt mess carpets while they were cleaning them, on the night before we opened Cliff crabbe noticed and told him to take them back.Pete and Ray are visiting Pumper Fuller as well.
TOT lives 10 mins drive from me and it took all these years to find him,he even worked with one of my sons at the HARLOW FIRE STATION
