oh yeah i know Fred was Gay, i think they must have been rivals at some point from what Winston used to say, i also used to look after an old guy called Jack Bonney (different nursing home) who was VERY good 'friends' with Fred Skinner

Bit of a coincidence, it's my Mums 90th Birthday next month and my sisters and I are digging up old photos etc to pop on to a clip board. We have found out that in 1929 she was a tap dance and singer act at the Empire In Oswaldtwistle, she must have been 11 years old at the time. She also performed at other venues in the area under the name of THE DOT or THE LITTLE DOT. Her maiden name was Monica Slinger from Claton-le-Moors.
