    Worst car of the 1960's

    I agree. Toyota's were good cars from what I can remember. Beetles were so bad, Smithfield garage used to keep a stock of Beetles wings ready sprayed.

    Science Museum Newhall Street

    The Science Museum, Newhall St. What a place that was. I must have spent days if not months in there either by myself, with friends or my dad. Items I remember are: The Railton Special. The thing on a wire (Lamson Paragon) that zipped across the ceilings of shops carrying money to and from the...

    Tyburn road Haulage company

    The yard was not that big really for a transport company due to the 'Sand Cliff' that the yard backed on to.

    Metro progress 2020

    I went twice last week. If the tram was up and running I would have used that. Ask yourself the question: Who wants to go anywhere? There are many places in this world I have not been to or don't need to go to, doesn't mean other people shouldn't go.

    Metro progress 2020
