    Billo, you haven't changed a bit!

    My OH found this stuffed down the back off one of the skirting boards he was ripping off before we get the plastering done.





    He also found an old 2d bus ticket and a hapenny

    I well remember that blitz! and the destruction of the store, but they did carry on trading by occupying a number of shops in Bold St.

    Greg, your dad is one of my favourite Liverpool photographers of all time.
    It's great that he's sharing his photos.
    You must be so proud.

    Default Blacklers Store name of Butchers opposite

    Hi All,Incredible I have been looking for Blacklers all Night as I wanted to get the name of the big Butchers Shop opposite.I can just remember my Mum crying as Dad was a butcher and got a job there 1936.Then the Grottos came up.T.J.Hughes had a good grotto first year after the war.I remember it well.They had a Magiciam there and he had a 10 shilling note in his hand and he put a match to it.As it burnt up he started to rub the ash in the palms of his hands.There was nothing left and the ash he blew aside,He got a piece of newspaper the same size as the 10 shilling note and set that on fire,rubbing it as it burnt away.This time he kept rubbing the ash and Lo and Behold he had the 10 shilling note back with the same number.This little smart a--- got home took a 10 shilling note out of Mums purse.Box of matches off the stove and into the toilet down the back yard.I had just about run out of "Echo" squares of toilet paper when the toilet door opened and it was Dad.I got a few belts with the cane mainly for stealing the 10 shilling note out of Mums purse.It took a few years to find out he had a false thumb cap which he used for the paper and 10 shilling note.Blacklers Grotto 'Pressies were always best I thought.If anyone can remember the name of the Butchers as they had a big photo of the staff lined up outside and my Dad is in the Photo.Taken just before the war.Best Regards to one and all Ken B

    My mate Norman was in heaven when they had a lingerie sale - he'd spend hours browsing. Never bought anything, mind!

    That creates a scary mental image that will require a few large ones to dispel, if I'm to sleep tonight!

    Hope I haven't got my knickers in a twist there Kevin.


    My mate used to tell me he'd rush home from work every day and rip his wife's panties off - now make of that what you will

    And it's probably just as well I said a couple of large one instead of a couple of stiff ones.

    I say Ged, it was my sister's knickers (as I'm not married yet) I couldn't wait to rip off after a hard day at the office (sic) they didn't half pinch me p****
