I Remember When

A piece of tissue paper wrapped over a comb !!  Doo doodoo doo !! .

WN,     I remember unwary souls being threatened with  physical violence by various landlords for rubbing the top of glasses like that  !!

And its Still available, TA !!  --  latest tests recommend laying down a few bottles  !!

But Brian remembers that appalling Red Barrel stuff,, POUSA could use that for a defence against C19 !!

I remember years ago we went on a bell ringing trip in the Dales. We hired a minibus which was so old that we had to get out and push up one steepish hill!

T'was also on that trip that we rang one of the sweetest peals of bells I've ever rung. I think it was in the little village of West Tanfield if my memory serves.

As for fondly remembered ales our regular bus ride to school took us past the premises of Hammonds United Breweries, what wonderful aromas on most days. The beer was pretty good too.

When an apprentice fitter and I used to service them in Surrey and our local railway station was still lit by gas lamps in all the rooms and approach road including booking office

With Scammel mechanical horses for local deliveries from goods shed after daily goods train called normally hauled by an LSWR M7 0 4 4 tank engine from Nine Elms now Covent garden market

And I remember my 'boxed ears' for getting that grease on my trousers 

I remember when tractors didn't have cabs and heating and radios and big comfy seats. If it rained you got p155 wet through.

I also remember working outside an old nissen  hut which served as a barn. Somebody working inside with a tractor with forks on the front forgot  to lower them and we watched the forks come through the roof one by one.😂😂😂😂

I remember when I could get up without the sound effects  

I remember when rock was young, me & Suzie had so much fun, holding hands & skimming stones 

The headmaster came to each classroom  and told us that the king had died , then also advised we would now have a queen in his place followed by "god save the queen" 

And the "scraps"

I remember 1963 when Julia Harrison, later to become Fiona Richmond, gave me an Xmas present .
