dizzy dom i used to live next door to charlie spriggs mum on fitzhubert road.I liked charlie he was what you would call a lovable rougue.I had the greatest respect for him because if it wasnt for him running my mum up lodge moor hospital she would have not have seen my dad before he died .he was visiting nannan spriggs ( thats what we used to call her ) on the night she got an urgent call from the hospital to go up straight away.he run her up then waited to take her home I can recall he had 2 sons one was called wayne the other i cant remember his name.Through the years i would sometimes bump into charlie he always stopped to chat and ask after my mum .me and my sister were only talking about this very fact the other day.im so sorry to hear he has died and send my condolences to his family
