The wooden seats were curved at the back

I think his Bertness was referring to the lip at the top of the seat's back which does, indeed, dig into one's knees.

Possibly, but I didn't like to ask when he was sluicing out gravel from my knee

Edit: not a lot on this morning, Sean?

Yes in December 1976. We won with a Chico Hamilton penalty

I owe you an apogy mate. Re Violet Mays. You said it was on Duke Street originally and I corrected you and said it was actually on South Street. It was there but after moving from her original shop onDuke Street. Never knew that. Apparently it was near the old Norfolk picture palace.

Sorry about that

I'd love to see that flag for real. Unfortunately I was less than a year old at the time.
