A couple of wedding receptions in the 70's - one where the grooms brother kept trying to tell a joke about the sexual life of a camel and another with two drunken geordies standing on the dining table singing.

my father used to take me, when I visited him, alex the names you mentioned I recognise a few ! another character I rember was "potty john"

 

No, not much luck finding or new info with regards my old man, i hope he`s alive and well. will keep trying. have heard on the forum he has suffered ill health of late. I have had no contact since the early 90`s. someone mentioned my brothers name and thought he was doing time !

[alex3659 11]

potty john , is john oran , russell flemmings brother , living in london last I heard .

not heard anything about bob being ill but will enquire for you . also will try to find where he moved to after he left town end .

just to add , if anyone contacts john oran ,tell him his pal brian williams died in thailand two weeks ago, brian was with harrold pressley when he died in thailand and now the same thing has happened to him .
