Unsure if the Nurse's still have the coal merchants in Llanelli, but I do
remember them.....
Also, we all know of Derek Quinnell and his now famous sons......Scott and
Craig.....but what else could they do when their father married Barry
John's sister except be Welsh rugby players!!! - I'm sure the youngest son
is playing now too........good luck Wales on Saturday against
England...!!!
