Charlies dead would also baffle most of them.

Brings to mind the last line of Don Macleans song,Vincent:"They did not listen,they're not listening still,perhaps they never will". Nodd the Pessimist.

According to the lamp it's called The Smoke Room! Sorry.

Amazing coincidence,I had Spam for lunch today. Not cooked but several thick slices on a home made roll. Yummy tuck.:yum:yum:yum

First visited the Costermongers in 1972. Also that year my first visit to The Hole in the Wall,just around the corner. My mate worked in a camera shop nearby,we'd go and quench a lunchtime thirst in one or both of them.He ocasionally got ticked off because he had to go back to work but as I was...

Always loved allo allo. I believe Arthur Bostram was fluent in French. Or urban myth,either way very funny.Francesca Gonshaw :heart: :heart_eyes:

Amazing where BHF can lead. I was tempted to ask what happened at Donner Pass instead I consulted Google. Tragic yet fascinating story of human endurance.BHF certainly widens ones horizons. Sorry if this is off thread

I think I can pronounce gears as well as any Frenchman.

My younger cousin had a yellow and red Mobo bike fitted with outriders which we both enjoyed whizzing around on. One day I arrived to find the outriders gone and my cousin riding two wheeled! This was very bad,not only could I not ride a two wheeler,my cousin was younger than me and worst of all...

My mom and dad often said "let the dog see the rabbit" if we were in the way. Or "Can't see the wood for the trees" when we didn't understand parent logic. If a person appeared whilst or shortly after my mom spoke about them she would say "talk of the Devil" I recall an expression something...

I hope I recall correctly that Needless Alley was home to The Great American Disaster, a burger restaurant in the middle to late seventies. Enjoyed many a burger there after falling out of Bogarts!:yum:) Nodd the drunken rotund one.:eek:

Possibly,however somewhat embarrassing for a former Royal Marine with sea service not to recognise the difference between a full rigged warship and an outrigger.:( Nodd the not so nautical

WOW. Mr Sparks ,thanks for your swift response. Funny how a couple of photos can quickly refocus ones mind. I was convinced I had visited The Outrigger in my wild and woolly youth. I now realize that I have never been in there but spent many happy hours in the Royal George. Seems my wild and...

Thanks Mike. Obviously I was confused. I wonder if anyone has a photo of The Outrigger they could publish,would help to clarify my foggy brain:D;)

Am I confused again or did the Royal George once go under the name The Outrigger?

I have no idea why but I always enjoyed watching shopkeepers filling the tubes of the dispensing machines with these tiny packets. Nodd the Curious

WOW! Just gone back 60 years. I had completely forgotten about Faulkes and that tiger,we spent ages staring at it. Am I right in thinking that nearby there was great toy shop? Thanks for the fantastic memory jog.:grinning::grinning:

Great piece of history. Seems so long ago that I stood outside that pub,usually below the window to the right of the corner door. I wonder if anyone knew my dad and his brother,they were identical twins,Walter and Bernard Dunn. They also had a sister Rene. Nodd,the lemonade lad.

Straight out of the tin,only one for me was Bournevita. Crunchy and very tasty. :yum:yum

You were supposed to stand on the tin :D ;)
