February 25, 201412 yr Sue's on Rishton Lane, Whitt. . Corner of Rishton Lane & Parkfield Rd? Near the bottom of Settle St?
February 25, 201412 yr she was half chips half rice and proper bonny. Do you mean she was mixed race or that she was a lesbian?
February 26, 201412 yr Author Corner of Rishton Lane & Parkfield Rd? Near the bottom of Settle St? That's the one.
February 26, 201412 yr Lunch yesterday, central Manc, jacket with cottage cheese, £1.85. Fucking change from 2 quid!
February 26, 201412 yr 'John' was probably still knocking about then though, he's sell urchins like us handfuls for pennies, I think he had a bit of a liking for the old rice wine r.i.p. Sue has run a much tighter ship since he popped his clogs - that said, she seems to burn quite a trail down to the Grosvenor Casino (fomer Sainsburys) most nights after she's shut up shop. That's why she wanted cash. She might have been £1.61 short of another chip (gambling). You've just cost her a fortune with your dining on credit behaviour. Youri out.
February 26, 201412 yr Author We used to be banned from having cottage cheese, in any form, for our meal, when I worked in catering in the mid-90s... What's changed now it's probably pence for pence the cheapest 'natural' protein going?
February 26, 201412 yr Author That's why she wanted cash. She might have been £1.61 short of another chip (gambling). You've just cost her a fortune with your dining on credit behaviour. Youri out. I offered her a tip in lieu, always bet on black, but no dice. Edited February 26, 201412 yr by Youri McAnespie
February 26, 201412 yr Author I was only 20p short ffs - it used to be 45p for chips at Eustace Street back in the day, that's not inflation, it's daylight robbery.
February 26, 201412 yr That's the one. Used to go there in the early to mid 70s occasionally when I was round at my nana's on a Saturday. In fact, I briefly lived next door but 1 to it as my grandparents had the bakery that was there then, but that was in the 50s & early 60s
February 26, 201412 yr Author Interesting that, before my time, but It's an ambulance chasers and kebab shop now... There used to be a shop over the road that sold solely Catholic paraphenalia in the 80's - how times change...
February 26, 201412 yr Used to be an old skool Ladbroke's next door before they modernised and shifted up the road.
February 26, 201412 yr Author Put my first (without a proxy) bet on in there, the day after Fred West topped himself... Won at evens iirc - thought I'd found a career...
February 26, 201412 yr Used to be an old skool Ladbroke's next door before they modernised and shifted up the road. There was a hardware shop there at one point, from what I remember.
February 26, 201412 yr Author I think you're thinkig of 'Bulloughs' further up the road....It was a proper 'Open all Hours' type place - next door to 'Drivers' toffee shop. 'Kin ell, this makes us all seem like we lived during the Victorian era.

February 26, 201412 yr I think that Ladbrokes used to be a car spares place 25 years ago, then it turned into a mini market type shop
February 26, 201412 yr Author The car spares shop was formerly a telly shop (Slarcks?) , in the interim it was a video shop, my mate wanted to pinch the 1/3 size cardboard cut-out of Julia Roberts (in 'Pretty Woman') and poke a hole in her and use her as some kind of sex doll
February 27, 201412 yr Used to live thirty yards from there. For a good portion of my youth...aged I'd guess from 9 to 13
February 27, 201412 yr When we were relegated in the early 70s, Division St was renamed 3rd Division St by some wag with a marker pen.
