it did go in his cheshire home, didn't really take him as such, he just stopped me in his 2 tone E-Type on manchester rd bash n asked me where it was, as i lived just around corner i bummed a lift off him, we stopped at royal oak on meadow st, were i was goin fer a pint n he came in wi me, had a couple of drinks n then popped up to rileys fer his snooker table. theres a bit more to that tale, but kids come on here pmsl
