Maybe because it's a slow day in the Reich and you have too much free time on your hands Drink a bunch of beer and these thoughts will disappear.

Everyday is a slow day here Eric, something to do with the German penchant with papers & paperwork for everything & that in triplicate at the very least.

As to the Beer, probably chuck down a few "Oktoberfest Biers" to fit in with the locals, only not to many or it'll be on the bus & off to Poland !

They tend to suffer "Wanderlust" when they've had a few.

Theories naming G.J. or Mancie as the suspect are, I fear, totally unfounded, Watson. Yerself has already provided us with two vital clues - the man in question possesses a mark lack of hair and is an habituee of the Clayton End. G.J. has a healthy head of hair and Mancie is no frequenter of the Clayton End, being a Stretford Ender by persuasion. Come, Watson, our search continues!

Sorry, been watching me Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes DVDs today.

Very good Wyn...you can count me out as a suspect..I did frequent the Block back in the late 70's but I can't say I was a regular.
As fo the cry of "hammer and sickle" I'd say it's more apt these days as the Tory's hammering us plebs and the low to ground cuts of the sickle

I'd have gone for Ernie Lee or Kiff (John Cowell) until you mentioned a bald pate Wynonie.

Don't reckon it's him, unless it's a cunning double bluff.

Actually, Ernie Lee sounded a knocking bet, but as DtheP47 pointed out, he had a full head of hair back then and I've never seen him on the Clayton End.

He has been known to be fairly slack with some facts as I recall from certain threads read on here.
