ColinW. Temper, temper!?  I suppose they were all human!  That tune, a constant when roller skating in the mid 40's, that I'd forgotten was " Woodchoppers Ball", can hear it now.

We travelled all over Kent - Herne Bay - Folkestone - Margate & South Essex - Southend.
I played in defence. - Herne Bay was the best team in England - then. Played on the pier.

Bit off topic but I remember the Linnel brothers and they drove mostly out of Chatham Station. I owned taxis on 2 occasions in the Towns.

I think that may be me you're referring to there - my uncle Don Linnell used to be in the roller hockey team, and the Linnell family had a big taxi business in the Medway area!

Hodge - I was about to `welcome ` the lady to K.H.F. because of the name - So you are here.
I did not wish to mention names, in case of embarrassment - We also played in London.
While we were in Southend - a motor cycle collided with the taxi - ripping a door handle - right off.
