Dave, I have just come across this photograph that I took in the Isle of Man around 1972.

Is this you and Colin Mack?

Another update.........

Banksy: London tree mural covered in plastic and boards

The street artist claimed the Finsbury Park mural on his social media on 18 March.

The mural features swathes of green paint on a residential building behind a nearby tree to give the appearance of leaves.

Days later it had been strewn with white paint.

Previously, Islington Council said it was installing CCTV cameras and looking at other ways to protect the work.

The authority added it wanted the piece "to stay".

VISITORS to North Wales can play their part to help protect nature and the environment during the Easter break.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is gearing up to welcome a high number of visitors to its woodlands and National Nature Reserves over the Bank Holiday weekend and school break and people are being reminded to follow the Countryside Code and any site-specific guidance.

As more people have become aware of the health and well-being benefits of time spent in nature over the last few years, there has been an increase in visitors.

North Wales tourism attraction adds latest giant slide and starts recruitment drive
GreenWood Family Park, in Felinheli, near Bangor, has invested more than ?100,000 in importing the giant Forest Glider slide

A top eco tourist attraction is gearing up for the new season with a brand new ride and is taking on 100 workers. GreenWood Family Park, in Felinheli, near Bangor, has invested more than ?100,000 in importing the giant Forest Glider slide from the Netherlands and installing it just in time for the Easter holidays.

The spectacular new ride, known as Gleidar y Goedwig in Welsh, is the only one of its kind in Wales, standing 20 metres tall and 75 metres long. GreenWood also launched a major drive to recruit seasonal workers to beef up the 30-strong permanent team at the environmentally-friendly adventure park, recently named by Trip Advisor as the best tourist attraction in North Wales.

Mysterious 'Jackdaw Chair' with peculiar tradition returns to rightful home in North Wales
The ornate chair was once thought lost after disappearing from the town of Conwy

Its origins have been lost in the mists of time but legend has it that Conwy?s ?Jackdaw Chair? was once the seat of a peculiar tradition. Framed by two carved jackdaws, perching ominously above whoever sits there, the chair once resided in the town?s Castle Hotel.

As well as bearing the town crest, it?s inscribed prominently with the word ?Jackdaw?. This is the nickname (Jac-do in Welsh) that's given to people born within the walls of Conwy town, reflecting the bird?s fondness for nesting on the town walls and medieval castle ramparts.

Martin Lewis warning to 2 million married couples who could miss out on ?1,250
The Money Saving Expert founder has issued an alert to married couples who could be missing out on a tax break but they need to act fast

It's good advice but also the article is a bit misleading.    I think that the rules apply to civil partnerships as well as married couples and is a yearly saving in tax of about 252.00 pounds.     However it can be backdated to when the tax law came into force, unless the law has changed since I last read about it
