 Todays photos come from Terry & Ann's collection....it seems ages since we last saw them down here in Lloret surely they must be due a visit soon???

John's photos

 More from John Metcalfe today with a photo from the Highlander, and possibly one from Ok Corral (judging by the name on the Tshirts!) I dont have any names for the people in these pics so please add names if you can.

Tom's Photos

 Thanks to Tom for getting in touch and sending 2 photos for the blog, I have included both of his emails under each of the photos...

Hi Jackie, was given details of your website - fabulous stuff. Went to Don Quijote with Britannia in 1978 or 1979 and spent many nights in The Highlander and Robin Hood. Little did I know that my move down south in 1985 would lead me to be introduced to former owners of The Birmingham Chippy in Fanals - Ivy and Harold Payne from Henley in Arden. Here they are pictured with their son Gerald and daughter Sally. We don't know who the lady is on the end but think she worked in the bar where picture taken. I believe they were there for most of the 70s.

 Sadly the Paynes in the picture have all passed away but they were all characters in their own way and well remembered.

 Here is a picture of the lads from Oxgangs, Liberton and Longstone in Edinburgh with the bar staff from The Highlander. Photographer from Foto Lloses San Pedro 15 in Lloret knew we were suckers for a photo and followed us around. Maybe some of the guys will have some more. Messrs Cropley, McGuigan, Houston, Jordan, Hunter, Boulton and McQuatt - if you are still out there have a dig through the old albums.
