I last saw Lenny Cruickshank on TV on Street Matesabout 10 years ago.It was a programe hosted by Davina McCall who ran around the streets looking for mates for people. I will point out here that it was Lenny's son that she was looking for a mate for.He was still in Liverpool. I was thinking about another pub land lady, Maisie from Ye Olde Crack in Rice street.We used to have an irish session there on a Wednesday. She use to go mad at the guys in the pub and shout ,"no smoking your marahona in here", pronounced "marajorama". She had a hell of a voice on her.With todays customer service and PC society there aren't any landladies of that kind left.
