ReplyDeleteHere's one guy from Scotland appreciating this post! Robin and Jimmie were big stars in the sixties, and I remember seeing them open a local supermarket near where I lived in Glasgow. Jimmie later had a daily radio programme, and I was privileged to be interviewed by him - twice. Nice guy, and talented. And he still alive in his nineties!
