    Br Ardour,Br Earl,Br Rover,Br Birch,Br Workman,Br Builder, and a run job on Clyde Sergeant (formerly Br Sergeant).

    Red face Rover

    Cheers Vernon

    Good to be back, and yes quite a holiday, been visiting a lot of the old places from long ago ( that long I could hardly recognise them) but maybe thats just my memory going.

    As for the Rover! I could`nt possibly say, not until all involved are gone, and that includes me
