Hi Pat,
You make sure you hang on to that pole dancer, she looks alright to me :smiley:

Seeing the pic of Phil,Angie & I were clearing customs in Turin one lunctime and Phil was there, the three of us went for lunch,and Phil was telling us how working for Eric Baker was terrible and no good etc. and he was fed up,Angie asked him if it was that bad how long had he worked for him ? Phil says 19 years !! :laughing: :laughing:
Good to see he’s looking well.

Richard
