  • I wish I could name more of these lads. I remember Seamus and another called Eddie Youlton. I was in the hall one evening waiting for mum and dad and I happened to mention that there were loads of apples in our garden. naturally the boys thought this was a great and insisted on taking me scrumping. We were nearly caught by my grandfather and rushed back to the hall.
