I recall Albert Bimpson. Nice chap. Last saw him about 30-years ago in Oswaldtwistle Library. Was quite poorly at the time and like Ronnie Moss, is no longer with us. I remember that the two of them used to take the pee out of Peter Sagar something rotten. Reckon they were envious of Peter's attractive wife!
