at work today one of the weekend staff rang their till bell for support

[dotty.]

I responded and she asked me whether we gave change in cash on a giftcard, I looked over the counter at the customer and instantly recognised him, it was Bill Beaumont, he said 'hello Dot, put it in the charity tin', so i did.

: ) what a guy

[jno]

obviously I'm not going to ask if he knew you when you were a hooker...

[dotty.]

No but he knew me about 12 years ago when I worked in a store in his home town : ))

sorry CBE, he's a local hero where I live but I was really surprised to see him in St Annes, though he may have been golfing I suppose
