Rushing home from school to watch your dad's porn. And then having to rewind the tape back to the exact place it was in!!

The cane.

The slipper.

School dinner memories:

Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) was it a forerunner to Quorn?

Semolina and Tapioca pudding at school. (Was one smooth and the other little jelly-like balls which was refered to as frogspawn?)

Sniggering when the school dinner included Spotted Dick.

 

TVP still around, but yes very much pre-Quorn.

SELNEC buses.  

Before clippercards - ticket machines that took an imprint of each coin you put in it.   Saver 7 bus and train passes  (integrated GM travel cards).

The only off-licence being the side door of the pub.

Men with placards at footy matches saying sunday games were a sin.

Bridgeman Street and High Street Baths

Lower Nags Head, Greenall Whitley Beer.

Tracks record shop. Woolworths, Gregory & Porritts (The one on Gt Moor Street)

Great Moor Street Station.

Tv's with a coin meter on.

A bonfire in every back street

Blue disabled chariots parked on the touchline.

 

Anyone here have a 50p meter?

Derek Guest Records , used to nick the singles from the Bolton shop, take them up and sell them to the Athy shop, go back to Athy shop, nick them again and sell them back to Bolton shop , that happened, so I was told 

Was it Leigh or Athy - christ it was nearly 50 years ago!!!

My lad has no interest in watching footy. 

I'd take him along but even I'm getting bored so I've no hope getting him into it.
