  4. Sure i remember this bloke..they were'nt all bible bashers..many speakers..and a few women spoke of the" danger of Thatcher and everyone buying their council houses...and no more social housing being built..industry going out to foreign shores or finishing..leaving generations north of Britain without employment and kids and grandkids..never knowing work or wages"...bleddy hell..he had a crystal ball- that fella.
  5. I often sat there and listened. Some spoke very well..and i enjoyed the "here here"..or "boo". With an icecream sucker from Watmoughs..it was Desmond Morris heaven.The sali Army band played..and stryofoam cups of tea were dished out. Always a familiar character..the West Indian with a Pliabus Hat and acoustic. The small bloke in denim with the Irish Wolfhound...and the three wheeled disabled cars..driver wrapped in a Tartan blanket.One tolerant Bobby and it made for a fine Sunday afternoon...only punctuated by Little John.
  6. One of the rare occasions when a piece of music transcends the pop charts ..and appeals to all.Very clever..the way they multi layered the vocals to provide an orchestra of song. Cut in Stockport..this group had a great pedigree already..Graham Gouldman had penned many hits ..and for The Hollies and Hermans Hermits etc... Takes me back to 1975 and snogging. Prog Pop i'm calling it...enjoy.

  18. Whilst there are two moderators on at the moment..i made a request yesterday that two posts be removed. I felt using my name...and that they were bullying posts..and unfair..and besmirch my character as a honest and peaceful contributor. Just asking for an update on the Flags i raised. Ian.
