Spark Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hi my name Stan. I used to go to The Dog’s Home in the 1970s on visits from Preston. I was a pal at the time of Mike Allen of Mike Alan Furnishings. One of his mates, Jacko, came to visit me. I haven’t seen them for years. Does anyone know if Mike an Jacko are still on the island?

In fact it’s the only original bit still left. It didn’t drop on anything near the Dogs Back in the 1960's it was Burtons Tailors on that corner, had a pin stripe suit with a Victorian style rolled collar made for my trip overseas. Cost (paid for over 6 weeks)....£6. 19.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There we’re there until the early seventies. Quilp yes you're spot on there, not Burtons, Alexanders the tailors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spark Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Brilliant news. Thank you. His dwindling band of mates in Preston will be delighted. We have a pub do coming up and no doubt some of his antics will be on the agenda. If anyone knows Mike, I would be grateful if they tell him that his old mate was asking about him. We had some wild times at the old casino. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
