Thanks again Joey.

I probably posted before about this, but my first car was an old Beetle and I had a sticker in the windscreen "Goodison Park Home of Everton Football Club".

I just got out of it near the shops and Peter came along...I swear he went on his knees when he saw the sticker.

"I went to a High School on a High Mountain ".

Never forgot those words.
