[peel] Re: Festive 50 1976

I saw a card today that read "As you get older, your broad mind and your narrow waste, change places" Too close to the mark for my liking.

I remember John once saying, after a session track by The Flatbackers, that he'd spent his life striving for flatness, but had only ever achieved fatness.

Last Fathers Day my son bought me a card that said - 'As I get older, my opinions may change but not the fact that I am right'.  He knows me well!
