    Last Orders For Tetleys

    Haha I like the sound of that! Any luck with the inventing? Nice to find a bit of nostalgia for Tetley's on here. I lived in Leeds for a bit during my University days and I got quite accustomed to waking up to the smell of hops wafting over to my student halls. It is such a shame that...

    triumph & bsa motor bikes

    Agreed mwO, it would be nice to have a few pics back. Admittedly this isn't my photo - I have an old photo that I need to scan in - but I had one of these beauts back in the day, wish I kept it now but that's easy to say in retrospect.

It was really nice to hear about the reopening of JW Evans earlier this year. A lot of these buildings are relics from...

    Villa Memories Tom 'Pongo' Waring

    That is a really sad tale Trog. My granddad still talks for hours about the old Villa legends and Pongo Waring is a frequent feature. Great thread though, it's nice to hear that the legend lives on here on BH!

    DISGUSTING FOOD

    You don't find Jellied Eels much anymore do you? I remember my great aunt used to absolutely live for them! Is it just in London that their are numbers are suffering or is it a nationwide issue?
