Chalkie was an absolute Legend and a gent , I had the pleasure of having him as a customer and a friend for 20 odd years . Having laughs when he'd come in and see us or going out of an evening years ago and making sure we'd go and see him on the doors in town . Always a good ear with good laughs thrown in . Oh and a lot of wind ups . Will miss your banter mate . Shaun and the lads from Bathwick
