Alec Sheldon wrote:Hi Ron, we were only talking about you a couple of days ago. I am a mate of Bill Stone who was the Landlord of the Dover Tavern in your days at the Crypt. Bill lives in Folkestone now but comes over to Dover once a week for a drink with me. I used to drink in the Crypt and had many a meal there, I met you a couple of times. I think you are from Manchester, as I am ,if my memory is correct.
Regards.... Alec Sheldon
Hi Alec,
What a small world. Your name certainly rings a bell & the Manchester connection, but cant picture your face, my apologies.
Bill Stone, what a character & nice bloke. We had many a pint discussing how we could put the World to rights, and I helped him canvass when he was standing for independent at the local elections. There was also Jack who had a pub not far from the Tavern, who used to pop in with Bill for a drink
I had a great 4+ years at the Crypt, and met some lovely people & a few not so nice, but that's all part of running a licensed establishment.
Will get back to you soon, as I have to reply to a couple of more people who have kindly got in touch, and say Hi to Bill when you see him. Is he still married to Sheila?
Bye for now.
Ron.
