Blimmey peg is that Hmv cake shop still there operating its been there for donkeys years even before my time
many years than i count , even when i was six and our dad was working at charles Harris the bakelight moulders
way back in the fifty early sixty there was a kid on the run from borstal wont name him thou
he was an irish lad , but that not the problem by mocking him
but it was very late in the night and he was starving if you can recall
they had a round edge glass w indow on your right had of the door as you go in
they displayed there mock wedding cakes in it, he thought it was real nd smashed the glass
then he got caught by a copper from keyon street and took back
I also have alot of memories of the flat in more ways and one reason my grand parents ran the coffee shop on the corner of park
in the early years and i have courted one hell of alot of girls nd snogged them in many of the door ways down there
our kid and myself used all those pubs most nights of the week
my mate was from the italian whom parents ran the coffee shop on the flat in the late sixties
and they bought if my grand father,s brother and i had alot offriends one end to the other
those were the days my friends young and free and wild , cor , like you oi wish i could turn back the clock
