yep tis me, how ya doin Dougie, my first job in life after school & the only job in my life where every one i met & worked with was sound as a pound. spoke to alka recently, he said he still sees you in't village, have one in the maggies for me. so you're a bus driver now! bit different from driving a shearer & blowing things up with dynamite downt pit-lol. Scargill & thatcher didn't just kill an industry between em the killed a way of life. ttfn.
