To be honest John I'm not a big sports fan - but I would love some photos of the groups and bands they had on down there. I believe Tony Christie played there once. I'm fortunate in having seen it as a cinema and a nightclub - throughout it's transitions. Some good nights and bad nights had down there. Cheers.

So you are the one who started the 'hot pants' craze, Eggy!

NOT ANOTHER ONE!!! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/asteroid-nine-times-the-size-of-the-qe2-liner-to-sail-pass-earth-8621999.html

I think that was Robsons! I may be wrong. We used to get our DC Comics there. And on the corner, where the chemist is now, was Chisolms - the white shop. I used to buy all my Action Man equipment there and the Subbutteo teams. Happy days.

There was a Rene there, Keith, blonde & glasses. But was she married to George Straker? I still see her knocking about. There was also Rose Winters, I believe she worked there for many years. (I'll check with my bro on these tonight.) With regards to the doctors; many people have remembered the surgery but I cannot recall it. I was probably too young. All we were interested in were sweets, comics and fishing nets to catch darnies & sticklebacks down the woods, and we got those at Swans-Strakers and the newspaper shop.

I've just mixed some nitrous oxide with some oxo cubes...now I've got a laughing stock.

Greetings Eggy, hope you enjoy the forum, it's good to have some new old blood.

WHEN I'M CLEANING WINDOWS!!! Now I go cleaning windows, it's an honest sort of job Except down the Clayton where you cannot make a bob When lunchtime comes around I go down Furnace Bank There's this old green van parked down there and the driver's having a...thank you.

Good work, Keith, I had this with the street lights last year and I've got to admit they finally came through...eventually.

Me and my bro used to get our haircut at the barbers down there. My mate once dared me to get a crew-cut. I went home looking like Yul Brynner. My mam went off it, really ballistic. But bro says the barber used to go to St. Mary's hospital & St. Georges and cut the 'patients' hair. Now where's my midget gems and sports mixtures.

I just live up the road from the Oval shops, Wonky, and when I was a young whippersnapper I used to get all my sweets from Strakers - though it might have been Swans then. The memories and names of those sweets are too numerous - BUT - take a gander at this site and read em and weep. http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/

Dang nabbit!!! How on earth did you get that one!!!! I was hoping that would run till next Christmas. Yes, they have all played Dr. Moreau. Well done that man. Now as A prize I thought we should have something in common with Dr. Moreau. So I thought the premise of the story is a mad scientist who tries to combine animals and people. So find attached your prize, Keith. The guy in the video - crocodile man - is retiring soon and he wants someone to replace him. So I have shortlisted your name and given you a good reference. The job is practically yours. You don't have to thank me just remember me in your will...er...thoughts.

THIS IS SO HARD IT SHOULD BE RENAMED GRANITE CONNECTION

Will they allow that van through Quarantine?

Happy birthday Micky.

I was at Blyth today and there was a little bloke standing in the market place busking. He was wearing a medallion around his neck and he had soverign rings on every finger. As I drew closer he began to sing White Christmas and I suddenly realised it was Bling Crosby.

Apologies to Malcolm and Adam. Change unlucky for well done lads. Really well done. good luck in the future.

Unlucky, lads, dashed unlucky.

If only this one could be laid to rest, Foxy!

MILK!!! You's lot must have been rich. We couldn't afford milk, my mam used to water down a tin of matt emulsion and put it on some ear wax for breakfast and tell us it was sugar puffs. If we wanted proper milk she would stick cotton wool onto us with some wallpaper paste and send us into the farmer's field going baa baa until a ewe came along for us to suckle. My brother got a ram by mistake once and he's never been the same since. MILK!!! By heck, I never knew this was a rich-man's site, where's the wallpaper paste?

Why are they 'celebrating' her death? That's not nice, is it? I mean people have just been chastized for celebrating Maggie Thatcher's demise. Now these lot want to celebrate the death of EWD!!!

Hi, Reedy, welcome to the forum, I saw your post on the Glove Factory, I posted a photo a while back because my mam used to work there. Look forward to seeing your photos.

'The company makes the feast' - Are you a cannibal Maggie. (Hah hah)

I'm going to vote for that bloke Gallagher Park in the parish elections...he's got loads of friends.
