GRAHAM I AGREE NONE OF US HAD MUCH MONEY. BUT IN THE STREET SOMEONE WOULD ORGANISE THE DAY TRIP. THEN COLLECT A BIT OF MONEY EACH WEEK OVER A YEAR TO PAY FOR IT. MOST STREETS HAD SOME ONE LIKE THIS IT GAVE FOLKS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. ANDY CAPP

Aww thanks guys. Was not kicking off. Meant it to be funny.....YES I HAVE A DRY SENSE OF HUMOUR AT TIMES.

Will check with mother tomorrow [a bit late now] and solve which coach company was at stockland green.

One of my grans funny moments was on a coach trip. My money grabbing uncle [her son] was the driver of a day trip to a seaside location. The tight fisted so and so told his mom not to speak to him on the trip then got her to raise a collection when they neared home.

What a performance ??? I could understand it if the guy was poor but he was not. Sorry to say i never liked my only uncle.
