Paul will never live a dull life and I salute him for it

My first car was Betsy who was the same model as Bernie!

Hope it served you well, they were pretty posh in their day despite all the bad B.L headlines.

@@paulsyarduk2045 indeed it did, it even did duty as a wedding car one day. I’m guessing this would have been around 35 years ago. I cried when I sold her to buy a swish Renault 9

Yes i remember Howards way first time round and i am familiar with some of their locations. In particular the Marina development was Hythe Marina. I have a Henri Lloyd body warmer which has Howards way embroidered into it which i bought at the Southampton boat show when the show was current so you can tell that was a while ago.. I didn't buy it for this reason i might add i bought it because it was a good quality bodywarmer.

There's actually a Howard's way Facebook page, they'd love to see your H.W body warmer 😂

Noooooooooo

It's a lump of metal not a person or dog or cat. Enough nostalgia.
