I Like liverpool and enjoyed working there,.............but i must say its reputation is well deserved,.........we had a chap working on a site in the Sefton area and after his shift,he slept in his TENT by the Mersey,so he could also do a bit of fishing ,................He woke up one morning 'under a bright blue sky' Tent gone.

My thoughts are with you Michael.

I liked the 'Leather elbow' patches' used to match my briefcase back in the 70s ,as for turning lights off the wife gets on to me for always leaving em on,but she complains most about me turning the Heating up,i just can't stand the cold as ive got older,........she's even requested i turn the Telly off when we go to bed,......tut tut she'll be asking me to go to bed with no socks on next...lol.

At the risk of boring everyone about Farrands' grocery stores,i have to add after seeing this thread for 1st time,that there was one in Hucknall high st,next to Johns clothes store,i did a couple of stints there early 60s and used to buy shirts from John,always remember the Manager at Farrands,Mr.Sweetman an Arthur English lookalike. There was also a Vernons store in hucknall on Derbyshire lane,did a bit there as relief manager and remember a nice girl called Dorothy working there. Did a bit of business with Mike Slaney,Spar,Watnall rd,and the Shentnalls family i believe marrie
