Still plenty of work out there,for those that are prepared to get off their backsides and go and look for it.!!!

First music i remember hearing was on all my Aunts/Uncles singles of the day 78s' ,Johnnie Ray,Ruby Murray,Frankie Lane and Lita Rosa,even tho they were singles (78s) they were nearly as big as 'Dustbin lids'.That was in the early 50s,then late 50s and early 60s proper 'Pop' began with 'Cliff' Billy Fury,and some great Americans,Ricky Nelson,Paul Anka,Fabian,Jimmy Jones and Emile Ford to name just a few. Then we all had to have a 'Radiogramme'. Remember them? great big things that matched the Telly and sideboard,posh now, we started buying L.P.s,and drinking wine,as if it

Good film though Braddy !!!

Always fascinated me how many people look a different nationality,with the world being a 'melting pot' nowadays,its understandable,but back in our school days prob.50s there was still that percentage that had a foreign look,must be something in all our ancestery that caused it,don't you think? I remember one day at school a Teacher got all those with Blue eyes and fair hair to stand up,and she then simplified the whole question,we who stood up were descended from the Saxons/Vikings,all the rest were'nt,and were probably Catholic,lol.

Sorry bilbra,don't know'

Lovely happy snap 'carnie' love Grandads Titfer and wescot' but wheres his Tie ?

Me too Smiffy,..........Dad was a Goods Guard at Annesley,and on the on the inside of the Lav.door were always Railway Goods train timetables' and as i sat there as a boy i read them everyday,always remember Woodford being a destination,and Dad always mentioned it. Being football mad as a lad also learnt me Geography,had to know where all the teams were,and later as i travelled the country in my work always had to visit the grounds.....Amazing how many times i was just let in and given a bit of a tour for free,probably would'nt happen now in the 'cash' driven football worl

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.

OR women..............my Gran smoked one.....................no wonder Grandad left her .

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.

The other night i noticed only 2 members posted whilst 'corrie' was on,Michael Booth and Mercurydancer) makes you wonder about all those who say they don't watch it,........... .....just a thought.........you could have been doing summat else. I don't watch it.................but int' Tracey a bugger.
