Re: Eee me Uncle Harry got a freebie
The chimney took just four months to build after work started in early 1969 and was completed four months ahead of schedule
Them were the days. You try telling the kids of today that things could be built in less time than quoted and they won't believe you.

I noticed the scaffold rig on the old 1969 photographs. Frightening really

I was once chatting to a fellow from 'ull. He proudly told me he was" secertree" of 'ull Fish and Manures Social Club. I've often wondered if he was taking the Michael.
