On our first date you took me to the pub at Wild Boar Clough. We had a couple of pints and never stopped talking the whole time - there was so much to learn about each other. 

It was June 21st 1976, midsummer’s night, and you asked me if i could drive. I said yes, so you handed me the keys and away we went. It was downhill all the way, very narrow country roads and I was being very cautious driving at 20mph.....or so I thought. I didn’t realise that car had a rev counter and I was actually doing 2000 revs - no wonder yup looked startled!

Being the perfect gentleman, you didn’t chastise me, and you did ask me out again.
