glad to see you made it back on the boards rusty

Does anybody remember the gay blonde lad (not me) who worked in the stores. He was Diana Dors mad. He bought a load of paperwork and diaries when Diana's possesions came to auction. They did a TV programme about her missing millions and this lad had the codes that may help to find them. He died very tragically a while ago.

I worked at Vidor as storeperson in the late 60s early 70s in the engineer stores.

Yes. Raymond Sanderson. He was my cousin. Are you called Ian?

That's the one. Me and Raymond got on well as we were both Diana Dors fans obviously him more than me. He was a real friendly lad and a great laugh. We went to the cinema a couple of times together. I am not gay but that did not stop us being friends. I never met him again after Burndept as I moved to London. I read about his circumstances in the paper and felt very sad about what happened.

My name is Laurie. Ian was in charge of the stores where I worked alongside a lad called Brian. Raymond would be forever calling into the stores to talk to us and have a cup of tea. I suspect it was also a good place to hide from his foreman. I never knew anybody who had a bad word to say against him.

Ps. I am writing a book about working in different places in Shields. I have wrote about Burndept and I have also mentioned Raymond in the book which is just about finished.

Provisionally entitled '1066 and All That.'

Still looking for a title Delilah. It's about the different places I amd many others worked in Shields. A sort of potted history covering from shipyards to nightclubs. It is just about complete so any sugestions about the title will be gratefull accepted. Snide remarks will be ignored.

If you dish it out you get it back.

Dish what out?

Snide remarks.

D.C it is obvious that you are much brighter than the people who give you grief. Do you like to wind them up (dont blame you that cant be hard ), otherwisei dont understand why you bother to reply.

....... 'cos it entertains us and it's better than doing the crossword

Sometimes you let it go other times like this morning they need a bit of a response.
They suffer from little man syndrome which is why they try to have a go.

OH right you mean LITTLE MAN now i understand.

We had a lot in common. We are very much like each other.
