At last count in the Locator there are 34 as living in England, 2 in Scotland, 3 in Wales, and one in Northern Ireland (or indeed in any part of Ireland). Most people on this threads aren't there. I mean they aren't on the Locator, I'm not questioning their actual existence.

At Mr. Happy's prompting, I confirm that my mugshot, last known address and Date of Birth have been added to the files since I first posted to this thread.

[Note to non-UK readers of this thread; "Roysten Vasey" is the fictional town in which the rather dark comedy series, "The League of Gentlement" was set. Much of the filming was done in Glossop, where I live, and Hadfield, just over the hill. Other locations used were near Marsden, in West Yorkshire. Roysten Vasey is also the real name of comedian, Roy "Chubby" Brown, who appeared in some cameo roles in the series.

To be exact, I live roughly halfway between Manchester and Sheffield.]

Born and bred in Halifax but now reside in sunny Dover. I see Dover is listed as the 32nd worst place to live in Britain, but it really isn't that bad, despite some negative publicity over recent years. Busiest ferry port in the world, despite the high prices for crossing only 21 miles to Calais. Thriving cruise terminal etc. etc.. Used to be a folk club here many years past but now the nearest one is in Deal and the Deal Hoodeners have been revived. Plenty of clubs in the area and of course Broadstairs folk festival is not too far from here.

Can't say I remember that – must have been a good year! You sure it wasn't Terry Pearson's double-bass? He's still around by the way, and more incredibly, so is the double-bass!

Muppet, If you used to go down to Appledore weekends, then we've probably met as well. I quite like the idea of putting Terry Pearson's bass on top of the signal. I can also think of an another amusing story about the aforesaid instrument.

I was walking along Rochester High St after one Saturday night at the Sweeps Festival when I was accosted by a policeman. "You look like one of the folk people", he said, "I wonder if you could help us". "There's an old gentleman (his description) over here and he's very upset because he's got separated from his wife" He led me over to the corner of a pub car park and there was Terry, in a rather inebriated and agitated state. "Oh David", he said "Thank god you're around - I've lost Myrtle !". The looks that we got from the constables after I explained that Myrtle was not his wife, but his double bass, showed that they thought all of us folkies were quite mad. I got Terry to tell me which pub he'd been in and sure enough, we found the Instrument propped up outside the toilet. "Oh yes" said Terry, "I remember now, I could hardly take Myrtle into the Gents with me !". To this day I don't know whether this remark was based on the possibility of damage to the instrument or it's supposed gender.
