Cheers Pete - Yeah that was him !!! Did he have 'big' hair or am I mixing him with someone else? Brought back many memories anyway. We were down in Bedford around 1978/9 testing the North Star Horizon POS machine - pre PC stuff - 8" floppies etc. I reckon that project was the one that led me on the slippery path to computer consultancy;-) Took us months of travelling up and down the M1. I didn't drive at the time and got a lift everywhere so I got well ratted at the 'Feathers many a time. I assume my memory did serve me well with the pub name did it?Back full circle - I was part of a team from Manchester. There was me, a lady called Jean who used to mix orange cordial with Glen Fiddich (Yeach) and a very tall chap (around 7') called Ron. We used to meet a guy from West Brom (Or was it Aston? mmm - Maybe I'm getting my footy teams mixed) down there - Max someone. Just need to remember his name now! Coincidence anyway!
I called in the feathers on my own and sang a couple of times before the others joined me one night. (Wednesday?) They were quite surprised at how much they enjoyed it and came back a few times after.
Eeeee. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be though...
Cheers
