Mad Monty Python Years

  We were all influenced by the insanity of Monty Python and as N.Ireland was in such a dismal and depressing state any escape was worth the effort. We took every opportunity..

I told Budgie not to pose like that, people might get the wrong impression.
Budgie - Paul - Me - Joe - James

Albert Alexander - Harry Haskins - George McGowan
James McCorriston (Partly hidden) - Me (Hat)
Mr.Joe Cafolla - Bertie McGill - Ronnie Kerr.  During the 2nd WW i believe the family were interned for the duration of the war as they had not taken out British nationality at the time, i will check this further with Frank Jnr.  Apparently the restaraunt was used by the Yanks as a PX the equivalent of our Naafi.

I know its James in the background because as soon as my pics were developed i wrote everyones name on the back,.

Joe (Tate) threatens to report John (Graham) to the Cops but John insists its a frame up....
