Sorry about the weird punctuation in my post above - I wrote it in Word over a couple of hours, in between doing other things and then pasted it in here. It looked OK in the box before I submitted it.

:-(

Tootler - when I was born in '58, I was due on 25th March but finally made my grand entrance on 2nd April, at 7.30am so my Mum missed breakfast. She's never forgiven me...........! So, if your grandchild misses your father's 89th, I'm more than happy to share my birthday.

Nice story Jerry, you must put me on the list for your book please.

Off to visit my god-daughter now, I feel the need for a cuddle!.
