you have to be cruel to be kind, mind you i would have loved to meet you as a recruit on a parade ground
Someone advised me to write a letter to all the people I hate, laying out exactly why I hated them, then to burn them. I did that, but now i don't know what to do with the letters.
I chatted with Windsor Davies and Melvyn Hayes at Bournemouth railway station many moons ago (circa 79/80). Damn fine chaps.
Melvyn Hayes is still alive Rog. Gave an interview last week about Una Stubbs. He hasn't changed much either, considering he's getting on a bit now.
I knew Windsor and Don Estell had gone thought the same for Mel ,still i miss Winsor and Don had a cracking voice have a listen to Greengrass on YouTube
"Whispering Grass"?

Always remember on leave from the Army at xmas she had finished being a backing singer for a famous American on tour the whole family were in the local asking my mam to sing and she pulled me up to accompany her, Blushed like fek but my memory tells me i wasn't that bad, Mam was also big in the local church choir and did a lot of charity work. mams resting place by special dispensation for her work https://www.google.com/maps/place/St Paul's/@54.8703931,-1.3628471,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipPGmUN2Ns9b9_AXSCo5-AeI83EG1YFq1PgVupR7!2e10!3e12!6shttps://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipPGmUN2
Don Estel had a really good tenor voice when he was on the show, but later clips of him singing sadly show how much his voice had deteriorated . Sad.
