How did you meet your significant other?

I vaguely remember Raffles but it was Roof Top Gardens/Casanovas where I worked.

Crikey, there’s every chance I’ve walked past you to go into rooftops, and then back out again at the end of the night.

I was certainly no Doorman, far too soft. I was the DJ, you may have asked for a request.

Quite possibly 👍

She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when I met her.

She would have have been in a much better place. Even with or without you

Never went in it, at all

This was how Friar Tucks looked back in the mid 80's - early 90's, one of several that I took of the exterior
I have a lot of the patrons of the time too

Plus there's The Black Swan

I guess, as I've contributed, I ought to add my memory

It was 1986
I'd bumped into a friend of mine, Jane, in Wakefield, by the Bus Station
She was with a friend of hers

I was polite & pleasant to the friend, but that was all

Next time I saw Jane, apparantly, the friend had been asking all about me
So, Jane had filled her in, especially the unattached/single portion....

A couple of weeks later, saw a date in Wakefield..... at 'Friar Tucks'

Together since.... marriage in 1998
Only child born in 2001

Still together

Not sure if pictures are required but here goes

Late 86/early 87?


1998
At the reception venue

Over a patient's opened hip joint as he was having it replaced. She was scrubbed handing the surgeon the instruments he needed while I was circulating in the background. SO romantic!

I also have vague memories of the cinema, located where/near to where Wilkinsons is now, on Kirkgate, seem to recall it was £1 entry, but my mind could well be playing tricks on me

Did you sneak into the store cupboard on later dates....? .

God we where young ... well not so young .... I was 30 ... she was somewhat younger.

Yes the 'ABC'
On the junction of KirkGate & Sun Lane
Taken in entirety, a nice 'British Moderne' design
Now left to 'rack & ruin'

Although at the time she wasn't your wife one assumes ?

Or had she run off, and you'd tracked her down
