27 August

Mandy's Birthday. The first attempt to determine John's football allegiance. Everyone used Mandy's birthday party as an excuse to spoil John and a certain Geordie brought John a 'toon' strip.

Fiona wasn't happy - she's a big Bolton fan. It wasn't long before he had 'Lofty' baby gros (I still don't know how to spell that).

[For those not totally au fait with football UK style, Newcastle United are known as the 'toon' (the town) and Nat Lofthouse was probably Bolton's most famous player, their mascot Lofty is named after him]

This soon escalated and now John has Newcastle away strip gros and a wonderful black and white bobble hat and waistcoat.

Unfortunately, Daddy has already broken the dial on one of his feet - sorry John.
