Yeh I agree Col,
They were great days in the 70's & 80's, I wish we could turn the clock back
Just recently I have for the first time ever thought about getting out of the game, but I just don't know what else I would do to be honest, its all gone to bloody PC
Down here there are just too many Tossers involved in it as well
I hate it down here, If it wasn't for my Mrs who has a proper career to pursue I would back up to the M3 corridor tomorrow
