Jon Taylor Hello Angela, I remember you, As I was there when Linda and Laura, Roger, Ned Cuttler, David Durrant, Steve Randell, Mark Black Eugine, Steven Fletcher, And you got hit outside Astor by Roger on the motorbike,, I had the big absess on my chin, But I'm not to sure on the dates you have put up.
Frank Ward i used to go out with a girl called melanie she came from sheppey, If i remember right she was in howard house, because her parents split up, this was 1965/66. we were both at west borough.
