    Around 1980-81, I was working as a bartender in a pub called "The Lord High Admiral" In London. It was located just off the Edgware Road on Church Street. We had a public bar and a lounge bar. The police would drink in the public bar and a local gang called the Quality Street Gang, used to drink in the lounge bar. Just wondering, if the QSG of London, who lived near the Edgware Road (Church Street) were related to the QSG in Manchester?
    They were actually a nice bunch of fellows and never caused a problem. They always treated me with respect and were great to chat with. The pub's landlord was a fellow called Joyce from Ireland.

    My one regret was never getting to see Wayne before he left us as we all grew up together in the 70s and early 80s ,he lived at 4 Rock street Higher Broughton with his mother Mary ,Dad Eric and sisters Lorraine and Tracy .We lived further up the street and we were all in the same group most nights hanging out on the street ,Wayne was a couple of years older than me and many nights i would end up sat there counting out how many times he jumped with his skipping rope ,fastest skipping ever ! super fit he was even as a young teenager .And the Partington part he mentions was all correct as i was there the night he left ,eventually over the years i lost touch with him and the family and it was only through facebook this last few years we reconnected but sadly it was too late as he had already passed with Cancer ,would of loved to of seen him again .Very sad so RIP my old mate .

    Really it's all a fantasy, the cardboard gangsters. What do most if not all got to show for all the wasted year's. They might have a few good stories to tell on podcast but that's the extent of it. Yesterday's news, good for reminiscing, makes them feel that they've achieved something in their life. The one's that were smart we're the ones who were paying them. I'm not having a knock just stating a fact or two. 🥊☘️🥊

    I think it’s true in life we reap what we sow not always sometimes horrible things happen to really good honest people that is the unfairness of life sometimes.Being shot down assassination is tragic it shouldn’t happen unfortunately in the underworld it does happen someone looses a dad grandad husband not a world I would ever want to be part of.
