It happens to me and my wife says "why didn't you introduce me" and I say "I don't know who he/she is/I don't know his/her name".
I have have conversations with people for ages and all I can think is who are you/whats your name/where do I know you from?

behave yourself!! It was about the time of Flipper and I think one of them was called after that dolphin - but I cannot remember. In fact I had forgotten all about it until you put it in your post then it all came flooding back!!! I'll ask some other old Garston folk and see what I can report back.
How sad is this, they were called Flipper, Skipper and Delilah

llllllllll!!!!!! Well done you for remembering that! They were and they jumped through the hoops and everything - it was great.....do you remember when the fair came to the top of the village....and the Woodies band at the carnival - we need some of those old photos on the Way we were post...
(sings wistfully) - ....it was so easy then, never making any plans...
I remember the woodies christmas parties.
Me and my brothers would be taken to the barbers under the bridge, we knew him as the pole, I always thought it was because of the barbers pole outside, but it was because he was polish
Would love to see old garston pictures, have a look at my website if you get the chance.

Me Dad always went to the pole - I didn't know he was Polish - I thought it was because of the pole outside too until you told me!!! I never went in when I was little because I was a laydee (still am by the way). Do you know where the 9 o'clock hooter comes from (i know it goes of at quarter to nine but it's still called the 9 o'clock hooter) - I was born here and still do not know.
Maybe it gave people 15 mins to get to work,
Did anyone go to the woodies parties?
I remember when you became grown up and got a wallet with half a crown inside from the party, why a wallet that you would never use again beats me
For those wondering about the woodies

Never went the Woodies parties - remember the band in the carnival though.
And another thing Kev and Spenny and others - nobody told me that the new road was blocked off at the bottom - I drove all the way down there with me Mam thinking I would miss the cones on Speke Road and I have to come back again - by that time the new print works builders were knocking off and I was behind all them to get out.....
