# Hang on...
An ex of mine claims that as a fellow pupil she fireman lifted his daughter off of the climbing frame
(with the added embeleshment that Blessed jnr was extremely heavy) in the playground of a Woking convent school.
Now that I check, given it looks like he married in 1978
and assuming the daughter is not from another mother nor born out of wedlock, that makes for a
12-13 year age difference at the minium! What's going on here? You are clearly onto something
knockear.

# haha - internet sleuthing ftw
no idea on the time scales, but my missus grew up in Ludlow. I'll wait 'till she is back today to confirm times - do you reckon we have a celery scoop and could go 50/50 via max clifford?

# Well Knocks..
I'm not calling out my ex's story as this is something she clearly believed, especially dwelling on the detail
regarding Blessed junior being a similiar bon viveur to her old man in the pie stakes. She also pointed
out the convent school itself when we drove past it IN WOKING.
Something doesn't add up here. The climbing frame incident would be about between 1984-86 or so from the
telling of the tale I reckon. And either way would make young Blessed about 6-8 years old maximum.
