For Great Lever, Lever Edge and the Morris Green lot - when TSB had a bank on the corner of Green Lane/Rishton Lane - we used to mull over how we could rob it (when empty) - too many Clint Eastwood films I think

and that scruffy owd fcuker pushing his supermarket trolley round moses gate

You mean Jeff?  Big bloke, beard, brown overcoat. He used to do some serious trolley pushing down Bradshawgate.

My mum used to make him a brew when she worked at the estate agents in town. I think he was schizophrenic or bipolar, either way she said he was alright on his good days but she didn't bother if he was on a bad one.

Wonder if he's still alive
