Country: New Zealand Maidstone I remember it well: Roger,Tovil had the best fish and chips served by Bill Smith,young brawny lad and we, as,kids, could buy for a halfpenny a big bag of cracklings which we chomped with relish.Today would be regarded as unhealthy but I have had a long healthy life, hardly see the Doc so good tucker Bill served up, especially the fish and chips.I remember the spuds going into the large bowl and spun to clean them and shoved into the chipper, the handle pulled down, all by hand to form chips ready for the fryer.We waited with watering mouths to be served.Across the road was the Papermakers Arms at the top of Tovil Hill. I am sure that Bill in Tovil was your uncle and if he still around tell him Thanks for the memory from a kid from Tovil. John, I saw Frank Sando run that 10000 race in Helsinki,he was also a member of the Reed Paper Mills sports contingent that was in Finland in 1952 and I have a photgraph of the teams, Frank is in it. A brave race with one shoe lost early and almost a medal won. Best wishes to all. Rene
