I received this email from anonymous and being a civil chap it is incumbent on me to pass the massage on. It also sparked memories of gay days in a pub that sold excellent Thwaites Ales before it became an eatery. I have seen one of the 'old' characters, Dave Thornhill and recall the larger than life Scottish person, Hugh Thomas which were a formidable drinking partnership; and wonder whatever happened to former Liverpool and Preston NE legend Peter Thompson who applied his business in Preesall?
Email reads:- John Dickinson is a former resident of Preesall, Lancashire, England. During the 1970´s he used a walking stick to help him walk. He also wore a flat black cap even in the summer. He lived near the Saracens Head pub in the small village. The concrete bust at the Saracens Head closely resembles the offensive Danish Cartoon drawing of Mohammed ( http://www.saracensheadpreesall.co.uk/Gallery.html ) Please will people post any information or their recollections of John Dickinson Preesall on this blog.
He was apparently a "Smashing Old Chap".
Was David sober?
