Peter,

your contrubution here has made my day!
A breath of Spanish sunshine!
(nice mixed metaphor ther!!!)
I remember that Boyer machoen so well, especially at Brands.
I am so gratified that people have found this thread a memory stirrer.
Just what I intended.
Anybody else remember "getting there on a shoe string?"
I dont know why, but my memory cerlls just conjured up
images of Crystal palace.
Coming up from the station to the sound of Manx Nortons.
The works Tridents with Ray Pickrell and "Small Part"
Oh, and Ray Pickrell on "Winkle"
Anyone remember what machine that was?
All this on a day when I am due to go into work and announcve my early retirement!
Happy days!!
