Mikeant, pretty sure Bob is late 70s poss 80 now.
I well remember the downstairs of Dave's place at the old dye works - it was Dave that effectively started Bob out, as when Bob was made redundant from the R&D toolroom Dave suggested that Bob do the work to refurb Dave's bike to tide Bob over, and it just snowballed from there once Dave got the message out.
Some of the funniest times were being in on the endless banter between Dave & Bob. After Dave moved out, Bob moved to Coggra Fold and then later to Lowercroft.
In the current horrible circumstances, given his poor health I fear for the worst, I really, really, hope I am proved wrong with him hopefully well isolated 'up on the hill'.
