Things we remember about dad/grandad... Took me to my first, West Ham match (and I've been a suffering supporter ever since). His checked, lumberjack style shirts and braces. Always seemed to have a pencil behind his ear. His distinguishing laugh. Scrabble nights. Things he used to say to his grandchildren... "My goodness". Called them, "rascals", "scoundrels " and "scallywags ". When showing shock or concern about something he'd say, "bloody hell". Something that has stuck with me and I say for the same reasons. Another term he'd use when shocked was, "cor dear old lore". And he would also say, "well I'm shocked!" (Kinda funny from a lifelong 'sparky' lol). I vaguely remember before he was a sparky he was a, stoker on a steam engine train. There was a photograph (don't know if anyone still has it? ) Of dad holding me hanging out the side of a steam engine. Jokingly, he would call someone he was having banter with, a "right pratt" or a, "right div".
