my G-G-Granny grew up with Coffee Johnny
as a near neighbour!

The rain it poured down all the day
And made the ground quite muddy
Coffee Johnny had a white hat on
The old wife stole a cuddy
There were spice stalls and monkey shows
And old wives selling ciders
And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout
Saying 'Any more lads for riders

You mentioned last week about bring a pet up here..!
Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°7 +...

That's 'cos I went to Uni in London in 1960. Got a job (er jobs), got
married, had two sons, got divorced - all in the south east of England,
before returning to my roots at the end of 1979. The pet - Snuffy - came
visiting up here during my 'away' period.
