This is the story of a group of friends conceived in the victory celebrations of the Second World War. They came together in a fleeting moment in time, to laugh, love and cry inside. Their parents and mentors were scarred by the war. Their sons and daughters didn't have their servitude but felt empowered by their education and success of the Beatles and the rebellion of the Rolling Stones. But they too became scarred by death and the declining town they lived in as it slowly shed its industry and exported its unemployed. But before the friends were scattered like seeds in a wind there were pints of beer to be drunk, pranks to be played and phantoms to be courted.

This book continues a few years later from where Tales of Darlo left off. Sean and Ducka, each for their own reasons are back in the market town of their youth. They meet by chance at a funeral and, following the wake, catch up and tell tales about some of their former mates and introduce us to new characters such as Kipper who gets his name from flapping about and never adhering to his catch cry of 'Don't panic'. They run into Billy, a pilot, who lived to tell the tale after more than one aircraft accident.They reflect on the town's and their own fortunes before, with reluctance and one last yarn, going their own ways. Finally, will Sean find happiness with Pru once again?This is the continuing story of friends who came together at another point in time in a market town in the north of England.
