I was beginning to think you'd moved into a canal boat and been swept off downstream to some far off land with no known working communication systems ....... like Hull.

I've been to Batley Variety Club twice at least. I applauded Bobby Crush. Laughed at Charlie Williams. I'm that old.
Both Batley and Dewsbury were better than Rotherham, or Staveley, or Ilkeston. But then I spent a year in Stoke - Jimmy Savile would have got off with less than that .....
Good Luck!

Bobby Crush. Wow, there's somebody you don't hear of anymore.
And as for Charlie Williams, we're now living in his home town.
Batley and Dewsbury were bloody great places when I were a kid. They are now total shitholes!

I saw Marti Caine at Batley. I went to school with her son Max and after he asked if I wanted to see her perform she turned up in her Rolls Royce to pick me up and then drove us up to her gig.

I can't remember anybody having a bad word to say about Marti Caine.
Charlie Williams was a better Centre Back than a comic me owd flower.
It is a long time since I was in Batley or Dewsbury ........ Never been to Royston, thought it was just a pit ...... but then I've not been back to lots of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire pit villages where I used to play football. People deliberately go to Poolsbrook these days - when I knew it you were either born there, or a council tenant who'd been thrown out of properties everywhere else ...... and if you went there to play football it was fight or die.

Marti Caine were brilliant. Not much talked about these days, but a proper comedian and in the days when female comedians were thin on the ground.

To be honest I cannot remember her performance at all!!! Its been 20 years now since she died and I suppose thats why she has been pretty much forgotten. The statue in Sheffield erected in her memory is still there I believe.
