Got some bad news to announce Lads 
Mr C Webb is being made redundant from his job of shovelling up the horse ■■■■ from behind the Horse drawn trams on Douglas fron’t. They are closing the tramway way down so they can develop the fron’t. So that’s two sources of income Webbo will lose ! 1) His wages and 2) T’brass off lads on’t allotments for’t Horse ■■■■ . Anon 1.

Harry just tell him you were busy, Regards Larry.
Hello lads and Harry, the reason you let time go by with out noticing it, is as you get older thing take you a lot longer to do. I know I have a damaged right hand, but I never let it bother me. But every thing I do I know is taking me a lot longer, so all the things I want to do, I just don’t seem to have time for it, so something gets left out. When I get up, it takes me two hours to get ready to go out. Harry you getting nearer to the big 80 must know what I mean. bye Sandman Norman

Hiya,
Yes “Riggers” My Missus is an exponent at tongue lashing but I seem to be the
only recipient, even the grandkids remark and I quote “Nana why are you
always shouting at Grandad” I can never catch her reply because she always
cups her hand and whispers into their ear, I do seem to hear “useless” and a
reference to “old git” amongst her mumblings

A broken right shoulder in two places in 1971 taught me how to use my left arm and hand.

Hiya,
I’ve had a serious attempt at using my left hand, nothing wrong, but just seeing
if I could, but I couldn’t, if it came to me having to be “keggy handed” I don’t
think I’d be able to manage, yet someone I know can swap from one hand to the
other and producing readable script both left and right not identical but both
are clearly presentable. Now Ronnie O’Sullivan can swap from left to right and
he is equally at ease and skilful playing snooker and once played an entire match
and won using only his left hand on the cue, what a talent Eh’.
thanks harry, long retired.

Years ago I always steered a lorry with my right hand, except when using hand signals etc. Nowadays steering is all done with my left hand, which has steered the best part of a million miles.

Hiya,
Oh’ yes some of my very early lorries hand no winkers and signalling by hand was
the norm , left palm flat to the windscreen to let the copper on point duty know
that you wished to go straight ahead or again flat on the screen with the fingers
pointing left to let the copper know you wanted to turn left, right arm if stuck
straight out meant you was turning right or if waving in an up and down motion
meant you was about to stop or right arm in a circular motion told the motors
that were following that you was going to turn left having wound or pulled the
window down first, or you could break a fingernail.
