Hi guys,

Does anyone remember an old scaff called Frankie Mason from the East end? I worked with him years ago and was wondering if he was still alive.
 
Thanks Andy,

I have been away since 88 just about to return next week, any tips?
 
Hi Tony, is it the Frankie Mason who worked for SGB Kings Cross/ ACL back in the seventies, eighties pal? along with Johnny Neaves,Kenny Coleman.
 
Thats him, he was a great scaff until he had a fall around 85-86.

Nutty as a fruit cake.
 
Sorry Andy, it does sound a bit dodgy.

I have been working over seas, Middle East, Africa, Singapore and Australia.

Worked with Frankie Mason on Trads in the 80s , he had a nasty accident that left him with a gimp , Frankie was about as mad as they come he used to take the YTS lads shoplifting ever Friday lunch time to get cloths for the weekend :laugh: i remember he took all his cloths of in a pub and started playing pool what a fu cking LOON he was but a great laugh :laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
I remember Frankie "Boy" Mason from Trads back in the late eighties working on the Royal Exchange. Never wore pants under his jeans but a clog of folded bog paper up his cleft to keep things in order. If it passed the sniff test at home time, it just went back in. Last I heard he had broke up from his missus and had to leave his two boys behind. Vowed to give up on women and then moved in with a Landlady. Belting bloke.

Ya mate, a few people have told us that now...
Its almost like he disappeared. :wondering:
 
Well if he has passed on, its a sad sad loss to all. A real character and a good bloke to have around and level it all out.

Hi Phil,

I think Phil did have a moustache.
I have a photo of him, from 1978:

Rumour has it, that Phil had super-human powers and THAT 'tache was the secret to his exceptional strength. :amuse:
