Did you also know that he was a boxer when he was in the army, and was a brilliant bebopper in his youth. His nibs tells me that on one occasion the whole ballroom (Rawtenstall Astoria) stopped to watch Jack strut his stuff - lots of happy memories.

Nah dotti in 63 i was a butcher fer Slingers @ Load Of Mischief, Jack was a driver fer em.

Jack told me he worked as a tailor for McKno for 40 odd years.

Well that's something I didn't know, Cashman. Didn't know he had at one stage exchanged needle and thread for a steering wheel. We were in Australia by then.

Yes, that's what I thought, Gremlin. Maybe he did a bit of driving on the side, or the other way round.

Next time we phone him I'll ask him about his double life....ha ha.

Yeh must dotti, he worked full time fer slingers in 63, so 40 yrs he must be 120 ish.

Ol & Dotti

Jacks always done various driving jobs used to deliver a lot for a couple of butchers in the old market hall. I guess that came about with his link through Slingers. I'll ask him.

I knew the name jack Gee, and I remember a driver working for Slingers of that name.....didn't know it was the same chap although he would be the right age.
This was circa 1963.
