He loved the club and served so many years dishing out tickets to all comers in the tardis in all weathers.
Decent butcher too.
RIP Alan.

His cheeky smile and generous and kind demeanor always lifted my spirit. I have images of him hanging small and laughing children on butcher's hooks in his shop ..... did that happen or was it apocryphal?

Picked up your Mum & Dad a while ago (when I was a taximan!) reminisced all the way home!
Learnt a thing or two I didn't know (realise?) as a child!
The fridge lock in thing has certainly got me thinking!! I hadn't remembered it before, but now.....
