James Morton:I had a client I used to go and see sometimes when he heard me at the door he would call out 'Gladys, the boy's here make him a coffee'. It was Camp and disgusting.
This one from Matey Dave did make me smile and will probably take many of you born in the 1950s back a bit.
Dave had a monthly delivery of one of his favourite drinks yesterday. He said memories of the 1940s had come flooding back as he had just enjoyed a milky mug of sterilised milk and Camp Coffee.
Those of you too young to have "enjoyed" this taste are very lucky, I thought both were awful.
Eddie Rose and Marion were a Scottish pairing rather like Chic Murray and Maisie. Perhaps I could share a memory regarding Dickie Henderson however. As is often the case these days, I forget the year, but I went to see Dickie Henderson in "Babes In The Wood" one Christmas in the seventies at The Palace Theatre in Manchester. He co-starred alongside Arthur Askey as the dame and Mark Wynter as Robin Hood. I forget who played The Bad Robber but The Good Robber was Cardew Robinson who used to give a little cough and say, "Cardew do." To bring it back full circle to wrestling, I recall Cardew entering a massage parlour alongside Milton Reid. If I recall correctly, Cardew entered his massage room with masseuse Mary Millington whilst Milton Reid had the misfortune to enter his massage room with Suzy Mandel who hit him over the head with a frying pan. The film was "Come Play With Me".
Well, this is anything but the wrestling. And I do own up to introducing Matey Dave to these delights, even though it's over forty years since I ate one.
Matey Dave writes:
Today there is very little to sing and dance about, but many zonks ago a young scallywag known as Hack (not the one called George) introduced me to Holland pies. unlike Pukka & Gingsters pies they do not cause one to have projectile vomit.
Because of cost of food today it is better to eat what stays in and is good for you
As a boy I used to enjoy "The White Heather Club" and those names come flooding back to me such as Andy Stewart, The Alexander Brothers, Jimmy Shand, Moira Anderson, Kenneth Mc.Kellar, Chic Murray and Maisie, Rikki Fulton and Lex Mc.Lean.
I recall the story of the elderly English lady who had never seen a man in a kilt before. Curiosity got the better of her and she crept behind the man and put her hand right up his kilt. She withdrew it in horror shouting, "It's gruesome!" The Scotsman replied, "Put your hand back up and it'll grow some more!"

Just looking again at the indoor bowls team, a couple of comments:
by indoor bowls do we understand ten pin bowling?
eight named on the right, but ten in the photo. I spy Captain Harris; but who is the tiddler next to him?
A quarter pounder Mac, anyone?
A message from Matey Dave
How about Stefan Milla hamming it up with Screaming Lord Sutch?
The Ost7h
We've seen football teams, but how about the Dale Martin indoor bowls team:
A few days back I read a newspaper report of a Wrestlers darts team.

Matey Dave with a question for Eddie:
"What happened to Marion?"
Well, we introduced this topic, so we've only ourselves to blame. And I guess many of us would think Matey Dave has a point....
Good grief, how did I get into this?

Here's one from 1964: Q - how many wrestlers can fit into an Austin 1800?
A - six
Nice one Graham.
