Talking of apples , we used to sneak into a lady's garden on hungerhill road in st anns well , who had about 20 cats , we used to call her cats eye kelly , people said she was a witch , but when you're nipper you believe owt , anyway we were up her tree putting apples in our jumper , and she chased us off with a big walking stick , which i mistook for a stick to put spells on naughty little boys !

@benjamin1945 in the Philippines if you can't speak the foreign lingo you're boggered ,but alas i can get BBC World news , and also Aljazeera ,but to get your old favourites like Last of the summer wine , Dad's army, or open all hours , you have to rely on Youtube , not complaining much though my wife still cooks me Egg'nChips , and the beers ice cold , the suntan though must improve on that i want to look like a bronze adonis ( an aged one ) rather than a half baked prawn !!!!

First book i remember reading or rather read to us by mr eddie (alderman.w.derbyshire secondary school) it was the last lesson in english class on a friday afternoon, which was perfect !
The book in question was called THE SILVER SWORD by IAN SERRAILLIER ,
It revolve around 1940s poland and how a family was torn apart by the advancing German army , only to be reunited in Switzerland, the main theme of the book was kindness, generosity, and durability .

Hopefully I have got this reply thing right!
I went to Mr Carberry the dentist from the first time he opened and was still returning as a new mum from West Yorkshire until the mid seventies .
He was lovely and good to hear his son is now in the profession.
Prior to him opening the shop it was a sweet shop and general store!
The practise mentioned on Piccadilly was barbarous,I remember coming back from there with my mum on the bus with quite a large blood stained cloth in her mouth after five extractions!
However still better than the school dentist at The Bogs ,I know where I would put his rubber bung now before he applied the gas to a terrified five year old ! !
Yeah went there once put the old gas mask on yer face and felt like i was curling up like a rubber ball and dreamt of soldiers with busbies on their heads stabbing my tongue with bayonets , then a woman with an high pitched voice , slapping my face and saying come on wake up !!

Hairdressers didn't have fun doing my hair. They tended to complain about me having a double crown, whatever that means to hairdressers! Once had my hair done by a chap who was trained by Teasy-Weasy. He seemed delighted by the double crown. A challenge, perhaps?
My dear old mam used to say i had a double crown whilst combing my hair using lots of water to dampen the hair , which would always run in your eyes , but i still felt like twice a king with a double crown !!

I have a question …… the black lads you see on the TV, footballers, actors, musicians etc ……. do they paint or dye their heads to give them a perfectly straight hairline across the top of their forehead? It’s intriguing me!

90 pesos in the Philippines, that about £1.50 in blighty !!

And talking of cats , in st anns we found a little kitten in the gutter , us four little urchins from the slums of st anns well decided to take it to the police station , not sure where but ransom road rings a bell,
We walked up to the station desk and said " mister this little kittens lost it's mummy and daddy " he looked at us and told us to pee off and not waste his time ( he was reading a newspaper and a drinking tea ) and take the scrawny kitten with you !!!!
