i think the generation of the sixties, born just after the war and teenagers during that decade, had the best of times, for once no war conscription finished, money available as never before and the music, aaahhh the music, never before or since,has there been such an explosion of brilliantly magical music, as we see today the world is changing, not for the better, we, the post war kids, have had the best of times, i feel greatly priviledged to have lived through this time.

A good standard of public toilets in the Square in the 60s. Am I right in thinking they've disappeared now?

I can remember them - I often had a wash and brush up there after work before going on a date.....

Not for getting Broadmarsh Bus Station, but I think you have to pay. Personally I try to avoid public toilets where possible If I take short I just nip into the nearest pub.......good excuse for another swift half.

[Bubblewrap 3,815]

The best pub for that is The Bell as you don't have to go into the pub proper

The whole point of using the pub 'proper' is an excuse for an other drink!

[Bubblewrap 3,815]

I never need an excuse for having another beer.
