Brilliant reporting Aggie! I sure wish I was there. Keep us posted
 
Send him my regards, and let him know he can have the South Bronx tour as well when he's in town, just to be sure he gets to see the interesting side of all our great American cities.
 
Thanks muchly for the post, Aggie; it has produce many mental images (and I do mean "mental"!).

Please also forward my regards on to Les along with my best wishes for his continued survival. I haven't forgotton that pint (or several) I owe him for his articles on split-grade printing (without which I'd be even more useless than I currently am!) and our proposed meet up in the Lakes this Winter.

All the best

Frank
 

Try having a bunch of them as relatives....

Seriously, I have no idea what my father-in-law says 90% of the time....

Good to hear that Les is o.k.
 
As has been suggested, Aggie, That was a brilliant post. Very informative and picturesque. Well done.

Great post Aggie. It brought back memories of good friends of mine from London that came over a few years back for the Chicago Blues Festival. They came out of one of the clubs about 3:00 am in a very bad part of town and I think they said they had to run and jump into a cab to get out of there as the cabby didn't want to come to a complete stop.
 
Wonderful narrative. It brought back memories of my "visit" to Bridgeport, Conn.
 
Aggie, maybe Les said 'masticate'?Or was it just the Geordie accent like? Also maybe ask him to give you a tour of Sunderland, Middlesbrough and the west end of Newcastle next time you're in the uk.......
 
Blackdog - My wife is from M'boro! Born and bred. And we have freinds in Necastle and Tynemouth.

We don't discuss Sunderland....

Something about "Mackams"....

And I can rule out ever seeing Lancaster....

Aggie, I don't know when I have enhoyed a thread as much as this one. This has been just great - now this sounds like the kind of workshop we would all love to attend. Thanks for sharing.
