 | | Anyone know about Cliff Price? |
| | This popped in on our contacts page from an Ex East RSC person!
Today I bumped into Ray Shepley who informed me that he had heard from Malc Crawford also ex East RSC of the demise of Cliff Price.
Cliff lived for many years on Crab Ln Blackley next door to the Flying Horse, before moving to Swinton a few years ago after which we lost touch.
Can anyone verify the report of Cliff's death? |

 | | Germany calling |
| | Hi lads,
I was an apprentice from 1968 and then worked on Works Orders & Trunk Test in Dial House. I left the GPO in 1974 to earn more money and travel 'abroad' in Germany, along with my mate Bryn Batchelor. I've been in Germany since then and have enjoyed almost every minute. However, I must admit that I sometimes regret it. Through that big step over 40 years ago I lost contact to many dear mates from my home area Blackley and of course from the GPO.
In the meantime I've found lots of old mates from my old school, North Manchester Grammar School, and also from the GPO.
I found this site thankfully through Graham Beesley, John Purdy and of course Mike Norris
If you know/remember me please write back (apart from debt collectors :-) )
Have fun lads & take care
Pete |
