"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Some may not be correct for 40s...
Powell - Cozy - 1970s/80s drummer, played with heavy rock bands Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Whitesnake
Ramsay - Alf - Football manager who guided England to victory in the World Cup in 1966
heh...
BTW, my group didn't like "Yith" as a nickname, despite it being coined in 1936, so I have become known as "Teddy".
Gadge is "Inky"...
Well yeah some are blatantly post 1945 like fred west.
But most that are are stated.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
yup... its a good list...
Hmm, there's not one for my surname, looks like i'll have to stay with 'Evo'.
Unfortunately there's not one for you , me or yith!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
