GG used to meet his friends up the pub on a Friday night, they had a few bevvies and then moved on to another pub, nothing unusual back then.
One night they noticed a couple of girls sitting at one of the tables playing cards, they were there most Fridays afterwards, maybe there before but never noticed.
GG was egged on by his friends to go over and chat them up, TB defo wanted to meet them. He was tall, blonde, not particularly good looking but laughed a lot. AH was shorter and quieter while GG was tall, slim and dark haired. Sometimes CP met up with them, he was shorter with dark curly hair.
GG went over to the girls and asked what cardgame they were playing and the boys were in!! For the next month or so, they met up and played cards, the girls playing Gin until the boys arrived when Brag was the game of the moment.
One night GG asked the girls if they would like a lift home as he had his car and before one of them left he had asked to see her the next week. They went to another pub and chatted most of the night but as she had to be in by 22.00hrs the night finished early. GG and the girl continued to see each other, making up a foursome with TB and his girlfriend on occasion. They travelled out to places during the summer months, visiting Cheddar Gorge, Banbury, Stratford etc. Life was good.
Some time before all this GG had a motorcycle accident which left him with metal plates in his head and in his left arm but now worked for a sweet company in the wages office. The tendons on the right side of his neck had also been damaged (the pressstud of his jacket embedded there) which left him unable to lift and bend his arm. He had managed to learn to write left handed, drive a car; his hair had grown back and the large scar on his arm was slowly fading. He introduced the girl to his parents, she took him home to meet hers and they continued to go out together.
