Caley Mad In Berks

CB Interesting that you mentioned the 'nearly man', Tom McKenzie in your list of provosts.  Had Tom got the top job, that would have been another provost lamppost outside a council house, as Tom lived in Hilton (Druid Rd I think). A fine man he was too, I remember him coming to the house every week to visit my elderly mother in her final years.  This, on top of all his hospital visiting, not to mention the umpteen council activities he was always involved in.  I don't think he ever missed a week, but maybe it was the cup of tea and scones that were the attraction.

I stopped and stood by the door

I know it will take him away

We are all hungry and Momma is weeping

Don't sell him no whiskey today

And so on etc

One of the most poignant lines I know is from "Bobby McGee", something like this :-

" I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday"

Any others spring to mind?
