Blimey ! I really don't know where I dredged that one from !
have not a clue ossy kid
remember him from Plough n Church Commercial way back, i was wondering meself,aint heard a thing about him for over 30 yrs, wondered if anyone knew where he was actually from?
I think he died about 4 years ago, he had a geat brand of comedy
shoppers world?...never heard of it
anyone remember when abbey st shop was a shopping center?
i remember all them different stalls in it, and the cafe with the red seats?
I used to work there panther, it was owned by Ray Lyndon, I managed the DIY store upstairs, it was called Croftspell. The people who owned the cafe were from Bolton, they used to make great bacon butties which were not right popular with Mr Lyndon
Most likely because the clothing he sold stank of their fry-ups
He was jewish flashy
, i was only a kid back then
just out of interest,was his missus?He was jewish flashy
I think she changed cashy as I know the twins were, a few years after I worked for him I believe he left her and went off with a younger model. The last time I heard of him he was living in St Annes or somewhere like that

suspected so,seem to remember vaugley also that he croaked a few years back
not 100% sure on that.
If I recall - Mrs Lyndon was a "Briggs". Her parents lived next door but 2 to me on Manchester Road. For the life of me I can't remember the twins names but Anthony rings a bell. There were also two older siblings - Steven and Daryl who will be in there 40's now. I used to walk to school with Steven who always dressed somewhat rebelious. IE White short skinners and high leg docs and Bay City Roller scarfs !!!!
Quite right I think she was called Pat, Steven was from her first marrage to a lad Called Neville Escathe(I think that was his name, his first name was definitely Nev, I worked with him in the sixties), I'm no sure, but I think Ray adopted him, because his last name was Lyndon. The twins were called Anthony and Deryle or Daz as he liked to be called. Pat also had a sister who was landady of the Queens at one time, but when I worked at the store she was the manageress.
Can't remember him kicking it cashy, but I will make some enquiries and see if I can find out for suresuspected so,seem to remember vaugley also that he croaked a few years back
fair enough,i'm happy to be wrong, n bet rays even happier.
