Yup that’s them. Parents were lovely people, hopefully still with us I don’t know. But there were four boys.

That’s genuinely not a name that means anything to me.You must know John the Bulge from Clase?
I’d no idea it was closed. I don’t go past there much these days. That’s sad. Both the Eagle and the King’s were great pubs in their day. The Wilkie too.Dai Morris was a regular in the Kings
It's closed now for good, someone told me it's going to be turned into an Indian restaurant
Ahh fair, he was one of the characters in the KingsThat’s genuinely not a name that means anything to me.
The Wilkie still going, does lovely food too, one of the regulars in the Eagle took it over a few years ago and has spent a lot of money on it.I’d no idea it was closed. I dint go past there much these days. That’s sad. Both the Eagle and the King’s were great pubs in their day. The Wilkie too.
That was my first regular pub as a boy. They weren’t bothered that we were underage and if you kept your gob shut at chucking out time they’d let you drink well after hours once they got to know you. Terry Carpenter was in charge back then. His eastern accent used to make my teeth itch.The Wilkie still going, does lovely food too, one of the regulars in the Eagle took it over a few years ago and has spent a lot of money on it.
Yes I remember Terry, he had a doberman that he let roam the pub, ate my pastie one day straight off the plate...That was my first regular pub as a boy.
