Pre Ordered mine back in June, I think it was  , just waiting on release and delivery then will see my old mate Mr Whittle to sign it with a no doubt derogatory remark for me. 😁👍. Can't wait to read it and relive the memories from the greatest time of my life.

serves 😆 

Just ordered the hard back , going

to be a real treat for sure .

hope there’s some pics of the Morecambe and Lancaster gang 

I never felt the 'love' when walking into M's like I did being in the big room. This would have been onwards from 75/76, and i have heard plenty of people say just about the same......like ice pick eyes turning towards the door as you entered. Must have been great for those in the click. I always needed a cup of orange squash and a bowl of jelly to calm my overdriven heartbeat after the couple of times I ventured inside.
