"It was while living in England that Philomena Lynott owned a hotel just outside Manchester. Thin Lizzy would stay there when they were touring in the north of England and another regular visitor was the late great George Best. Such was the friendship between Best and Philomena Lynott that he started to call her Auntie Phyllis".
"One night George came into the bar in my hotel and he saw a big bottle on the bar. He asked me what the bottle was for and I said that's a swear bottle so that anybody who swears in this bar has to put in money and all the money I collect is going to a local charity. Anyway George asked how much is it for the F word? and I replied it's a pound. So he went over to the bottle and said f**k about 20 times and popped 20 quid into the bottle! He was a real character and I miss him dearly."
Sounded a proper character.
