My apologies for posting incorrect information earlier. Good to know that Don is still with us.
I always said that Don was a right so and so!
Ray Harley tells me that, apparently, somebody at the care home posted Don's death by mistake. Like all of us Ray is delighted that Don is OK.
In the words of Mark Twain: "The report of my death is greatly exaggerated."
Delighted to hear that Don was ‘only resting’.
As Dave Swarbrigg of Fairport Convention said when he read his premature obituary published by the Daily Telegraph after he was taken to hospital in Coventry, 'It's not the first time I've died in Coventry'.
Welcome back Don. It normally happens on Easter Sunday.......
