I saw banana boats in Port Said........... they didn't look anything like Billy's boots.

:-D

Thankyou Sharron! I thought it was the People's Palace, but wasn't sure; we went there about 12 years ago.

I saw the banana boots in the People's Palace in Glasgow forty years ago.

If you see Billy Connelly on tv and his shows, he says the word Flippin all the time.

I wonder what happened to his Banana Boots?

Well Errol we have heard it all before and you
know before reading any BC material what
it's going to be like.
As far as I'm concerned they should butt out.

One of my family line long ago married the then prop. of Alnwick Castle.
Her hubbie was quite a feisty guy and believed in plenty of room ;-)

If Billy (according to some stores) is showing early signs of dementia, he & Pam may not want to live in a big city, like Sydney, but would want a town big enough to be near the medical support he may need.

I know a lovely small town............ but there are no 12 bedroom mansions.



:-D

Me, buy a 12 bedroom mansion - you must be joking, it takes me all my time to afford my sheltered housing studio flat :-(

Billy Connolly has a big heart and and a big wallet, he will no doubt buy a large property in Oz, maybe you can all visit him once he moves in - poor Billy :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
