God yes! Sat there drinking your pop straight across from a stall selling massive granny knickers. Happy days. If mum was flush we would go to that place downstairs outside, was it Russell's?

Never got any decent jeans from Talibs - I think they palmed off all their shit on our lot. Smuggled cans into Sparrows or Panthers as an impoverished schoolkid - and having to leave to go home when they were just getting going. Purposefully stamping on the dancefloor at Panthers to make Spam's needle jump - hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Rode in the glass lifts at The Market Place for 'fun'...

Use to go to Russell's after sixth form most days. Order a coffee and smoke cigs. I remember clearly how to do an Irish waterfall there with cigarette smoke. Imagine smoking in a basement cafe now.

Youri McAnespie Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Russells was always relatively dear iirc... There must be some reasoning why I voiced the scurrilous opinion he added his own contribution to anything with cream on the menu. In the days of pubs not opening before noon going to La Rachelle for breakfast and a pint or two... Ate a Bella Pizza (Americano is still the same as thirty years ago as far as I know). Ate a Rice and Three Kebab sandwich - gone for a piss and wondered briefly why there was a plastic teapot in the trap. Been a member of snooker/pool clubs (Crown and Flick, the one above Headhunters etc.) largely as just another place to sup rather than play.

Youri McAnespie Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Bought a £2.50 junior fishing permit then gone 'fishing' on Doffcocker/Braddies/Temple springs etc. with totally wrong tackle, bait and at the wrong time, getting bored after about an hour of not catching anything and relieving the boredom by lobbing half-chorleys into each other's pegs...Always went down well with the serious anglers present.

Duck Egg Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Going into Wardrobe during the 80s casuals phase. Seeing the prices and coming out again. Unfolding half a dozen jumpers in Benetton and putting them back on the shelf looking nothing like as neat as they were a few minutes earlier. Seeing all the detritus of Bolton life when catching the last bus at Moor Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moor lane bus station itself just gave me a bad feeling. My dad was a bus driver and as such he regularly ate in there but I never had to go in. to be fair I used to eat in a cafe on salford precinct with by gran which wouldn’t have been much better tbh.
