The way we used to be thread

Could you repeat that please?

Well you do look like the 118 advert people.

[Ged]

I know and when I asked you to repeat it, i was getting at 118 118 - get it (it's never funny if you have to explain it ha ha)

[stan]

Ged,did you ever find the letter in the paper I was talking about?
It was in again a week later and went into more detail.

[Ged]

Yes thanks Stan. Ron Formby of the Scottie Press whom was also mentioned in it emailed me a scan of it. Don't know why it was in again, my cousin reckons there's no such person and it's me writing letters of congratulations to myself under an assumed name (but it's not - honest. I use 'delighted from Ols Swan etc')

This is a youtube special! Me in the Conti back in 1994 at a Psygnosis party. One of the chaps in the video department recorded the whole night and has stuck an arrow over my head so no one misses me when I'm struttin my stuff!

I used to customs clear some of the Psygnosis airfreight Imports at Liverpool when they were in Brunswick business park, long before the Sony buyout. I still have the 709 phone number in my very old book but I don't have the fellas name and have forgotten it.

I hope you normally last longer than 7 seconds (you didn't do a hit with Nenah Cherry did you by any chance)

It was a 'if I stop moving I'll fall over with all the ale I've drunk'

7 seconds...LOL I used to do all nighters at Cream in my 'youth' - now Top of the Pops is too loud for my liking

John Travolta must have been worried, competition

Nice one for sharing

Some late 60s shots:


At Crosby beach outside the baths when the sand came right up to those big white houses on the front and those concrete pyramid anti-tank/landing craft things were dotted about.


.




At the Steble Fountain when buses could go up William Brown Street and Islington. Rushworths, next to the County Sessions House has gone but there's still some old property yet to be demolished. We only lived 5 mins away.


.




Outside Gregs dad's old workplace - Scotts bakery. This was on the corner of St. Anne Street and Rose Place and is now Martindales.


.




In St. John's Gardens. The cranes behind are building the precinct.


.




Another one Gregs dad may remember being a Kirkdale lad. Canon Hopkins pictured near the flower streets.
