I have been kindly asked to refrain from using bad language on the CR site so I will have to use a politer expression, if this Hetchin's is not AN ORIGINAL my penis is a cured Clupea harengus! Anyone want to know the South London coarser expression please contact me off list for a translation. This frame I am positive is the one I used to see outside Cliff Pratts shop in Hull. This would be circa 1966 when my club was pot hunting in this area. Me I was driving the club car and touring by bicycle in the wonderful Yorkshire Wolds. There is an awful lot of gonads (not allowed to use the real word) talked about Hetchins copies etc. Think this unfortunately applies to this one. Original yes and the real dogs whatevers.
