So this is Derek, who is 70.He joined the Navy in 1958, and went in the Merchant Navy for 7 years. Once he got married he moved to Peterlee, County Durham, and then moved again to Easington, County Durham where he is currently living. Once he moved to Easington in the eary 70's he worked down the pitt as a miner until it closed. He told me he comes in the club every morning for a 'tut of rum' then goes down the road to the other pub the Flatship' for a 'couple of pints', then goes home. He said, 'I drink to much to drive!'He also keeps greyhounds and races them as often as he can, and is also a Newcastle United fan, and attended his first match in 1948 when he was 10.
