Thats he !......Gone.

And so we say farewell to our friend, John McGee from Murphys who has enlivened proceedings at the Silverton Inn for the past fourteen months. his tasks on railway and station maintenence in this area being completed John has now returned to his home base in the west midlands. I believe his next job takes himto Litchfield, another cathedral city.

So there will be no more 'memorable games of pool' or cries of 'thats he !' echoing through the pub and 'floaters' will be safe from a ribbing. So we say to big John McGee good luck in your new location and should you be down this way again I am sure that there are more then a few of your old mates in the village who will be glad to buy you a 'memorable pint' or two. The position of mayor still remains open should you ever move down permanantly.

And Perhaps Mr Frost might even be able to find you some more of his famed Indian cigarettes.
