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.

HI Bob, This is daddy and his cap badge. Bit untidy but I have never posted a photo before. Nodd K-D

Thanks Eric, a wandering I shall go. Nodd K-D in his walking boots.
