I spent many a happy day there. Tried to walk through the tunnel to Witton park but chickened out after about 20 yards.

I seem to remember sticking something ? in the end of a bike pump & the air pressure would shoot it out. Anyone remember those foil papers from ciggie packets that we used to shape & then toss them up to the ceiling where they would stick ?

We used to play a game of pennies nearest the wall. Stand back about 10 feet & toss your coin towards the wall, nearest to the wall was the winner. A similar game was played with cigarette cards. We also had a make-shift boxing ring which was no fun for me when i was getting hammered by a girl (...

One of my earliest memories is walking across the frozen lake in Brookvale park. It was so cold with freezing fog. I can remember walking half way, but can`t remember getting to the other side. In my late teens i became homeless. Can`t remember why, but let me tell you sleeping rough is not much...

Jackie Charlton was a hunting & fisherman. Your mention of the glorious 12th reminded me of how sad it is to kill an animal for sport.

My feeble claim to fame was seeing Billy Fury making a film at Gatwick airport. Another feeble claim was being detained by East German police at Checkpoint Charlie, & was" rescued" by a very large Russian officer. Very embarrassing !

Nice job jukebox, she looks a kindly soul.

The problem with giving the postal person a christmas box is we rarely have the same one two days running. We have at least three & one of them (a male ) won`t deliver if our ferocious westie is in the garden.

Christmas day deliveries wow. I think at one time there was more than one delivery possibly three. Remember when you would always tip the service people, postman, milkman, coalman etc. The milkman, coalman, have all but disappeared. !

Interesting contents, what was "Tinned heat" a soldiers cooker?
