These characters are registered by councils and work for private companies in the main.

This makes very sorry reading for me..Andy and his wife Rose have been friends of mine for very many years and so too his younger children.
He was a very bouncy little character who could talk for England.
He was well known by some of the very many Stars who performed in The Cabin End when Andy was the Landlord.
My condolancies go out with deepest sympathy to all of Andy's family.
