Well well well, Terry BRS aka Butch, lovely to see you on here. You mentioned the Richmond legion, do you remember marias cafe then over to the baths for a bath? Pete the attendant, gay boy, smashing chap who always gave us cup of tea under the door. A couple of pints in the club then up to Orange tree pub [ I think thats what it was called 25 30 years ago]
