Title: Where was Red Squirrel 1976 Post by: Red Squirrel on February 21, 2020, 18:50:46 A departure from the usual format; I suspect most people will recognise the location, so this is more of a 'Where's Wally?':

Takes me back...... Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 1976 Post by: Red Squirrel on February 21, 2020, 20:42:43 Is that you (the tall chap) under the 'Taxis only' sign, RS? He's very good, isn't he? Yup, that's me. This was the 'farewell to the KSW's' tour. I may be able to find the precise date if I dig deep enough. I think YHT924 may have been out that day too. I seem to remember going round Shirehampton Green three times, and quite a struggle getting up Allison Road...

Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 1976 Post by: JayMac on February 21, 2020, 21:17:17 He's very good, isn't he? Yup, that's me. It wasn't exactly Sherlockian deduction. I've met you and you do rather tower over us mere mortals. :P And I suppose I also, obliquely, got the reason for the photo. Finding another image of that KSW from 1976.

From someone who's never been there ;D Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 1976 Post by: TonyK on February 22, 2020, 14:25:47 The hair down to the collar, the flairs Takes me back...... And the flares; either homonym would seem appropriate. I would have picked the right option had I got up earlier. As an aside, my niece has a Facebook album of pictures where on looking back, she has spotted her dad hiding somewhere, almost, but not quite, out of sight. It's called "Where's the Wally".
