    Oh Crispey, Crispey!! :(
    I suppose someone has to be 'smartarse of the day', so I feel duty bound to point out that back in the good old days, a 'bob' or a shilling was in fact 5p - 20 to the £, don'tcha know! :eek:
    If we put that mistake down to your age, then I think you'll get away with it. It's what I always do!!! Works a treat! :D:D:p:p:cool:

    Barley wine was invented by someone who hated drinkers and thought "I'll create a drink so disgusting but so strong that folks will still drink it, more fool them" (no disrespect to your Mum Steve)

    Strange that m8, I had family living in Leeds many years ago Jack and Rose Woolley they were killed in a car crash.
    They had a son Philip and maybe a daughter, I've been trying to trace them on and off for years.

    Christopher Woolley is my father in law. George Denham Woolley was his father. Holbeck in Leeds was where they lived. My wife doesn't recognise the names you mentioned.
