Nice to see my grandfather ( Bert Muddle ) the barber got a mention in this poem of old local characters , I also remember old Jab Bert, the teacher who was quite a interesting guy.

My Granddad was Henry Purcell. He chased us for the rent too. And we lived in his brother's house!

Can anyone recall Alf Purcell, Henry's brother?
