O/T Nostalgia Time

[Q165]

78’s had finished but I remember my sister having them. I still have really convenient bottled milk delivered. Nan had a strange outdoor toilet with a wooden seat. I remember Mick the baker coming to the back door with his basket containing loaves. Rag and Bone man with his cart and horse. The radio being on all day. Travelling everywhere by bus. The dreaded Sundays when everywhere was closed and many were not allowed out to play. Playing football in the winter and cricket in the summer every year. Sitting on the wall at the Albion.

Yep I remember the lot. Still got my dad's 78's. As a kid using the buses to go everywhere we used to collect reversible bus tickets. The ticket number on the top of the ticket had to read the same forwards or backwards. ie 72527. Such simple pleasures back then. Hours spent on a rope swing over the river and building dens down the lanes. Trying to sneak a look at Parade in the barbers shop whilst waiting to get a haircut and looking with mysterious wonder at the box with Durex Gossamer on.

Sadly I remember it all Phil ...

Factories and apprenticeships. My Nan ran an outdoor. On a Saturday night people who lived locally would come in with their jugs and bottles and buy draught bitter or mild. Flocks of racing pigeons circling around.

Went to handsworth cemetery today, on the way went past The Garden Gate pub, The Uplands pub, The New Inns pub. My uncles would be turning in their graves at the sight of these grand pubs now gone or derelict. I used to wait outside with a bag of crisps. We had our wedding reception at the New Inns 40 years ago. The good old days

I remember when the boozers had a childrens room where we would play whilst the grown ups were in the bar
