I know I'm reading this really boring book by William Smethhurst (?)

It's taking ages

It covers everything - the death of Grace, Shula on the pill, Nelson's criminality, Doris's death when Gwen whatsit couldn't get up the Pebble Mill Steps any more

I've got to the 80's now so perhaps it will liven up

It's a great shame about Sav - he did play at Barton with Tam Lin and he was very talented

Much better than my knowledge of Brum
