Hi all! Link to rather a nice story on the Beeb website...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-28788446
I'm pretty sure that's Dave Garwood's old Annie there, idling away in the background...
Mr Wilson Taylor seems like a very nice old Gent; he certainly proves that it doesn't do any harm to badger Her Majesty once you reach a certain age!
Cheers,
Nick

Cheers Dave - and sorry - didn't realise I needed administrator approval to correct my crummy spelling! Actually, I'd better not post here too often: I quite like being a 'Chipmunk'!

Hi Nick, it's just that a new members first few posts need admin approval. We do this to prevent spammers and other such junk.

A great storey and an incredible gentleman. I hope I'm that good (and still simming) when I'm 89.

Good for Mr. Taylor! I am glad he wrote to the Queen and finally got what he deserved.

What a wonderful thing to have happened. I'll be going to bed tonight with a smile on my face, and heart.

Always nice to see a good news story, and there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Congratulations to
all involved.
Thanks for posting that. Looks like my old Lancaster as well
