The Teardrop Explodes

Aye.

Thing is for everything other that the canned and processed stuff our convenience stores are actually WAY cheaper than the supermarkets. I can only think it's because of the demand- turkish community etc.

Just one street away where their most of their customers are lazy-arse white middle-class "professionals" the Turkish grocers prices are double.

I'll accept you want a supermarket for things like household gear, biscuits and the tins as the those are the products that tend to be overpriced in the smaller shops.

good idea that. Been meaning to do a compilation of the ever more wacky stuff people adorn their houses with at Christmas.

Millenium madness was the one though. The stuff people erected in their gardens throughout Liverpool that 1999 Xmas got pretty mad. There was this amazing bigger-and-better decoration war all the way up Deverell Road. It demanded a photo compilation but alas I didn't have the means..Once only chance too...

When we used to walk home from town we wouldn't dare walk past Kelby Close for fear of being jumped.

The Teardrop Explodes

walking home to Olive Mount from town after the Casa/Wherever and trying to do do it as fast and as safely as possible is an, ahem, "special" memory I keep with me...

I got followed a 3am once by these two wierd characters in a beaten up Vauxhall Estate (the vehicle!). Spooky as. 30 mins the ordeal lasted for me hiding in entries and jumpin into peoples gardens....grim

but it was them in the soddin car!!

I was on foot and I lost a shoe jumpin in and out of alleyways.

I was well wierd like. A bit like Spielberg's 'Duel' where he gets followed by some freak you never see in that truck.

Everything was quiet all around.

Errrrm, in that case, run like shiite:)

The Teardrop Explodes

one of the scarier things about the episode was they weren't young scallies on the rob or anything they were a pair of middle aged meffs like the ones who you see operating funfair rides and stuff (no offence to law abiding travellers etc etc)

I was trapped too. Had to knock on a door for some people to call the bizzies eventually- I was only 19 and we quite didn't have mobiles then..

If all else fails, bunch up your keys with a key sticking out of your fist. Your first smack will usually disable the clunt(s). If not, you'll get a kicking anyway. Tough Shiite! That's how it goes:PDT_Xtremez_12:

Z Cars filmed a scene outside the Tesco. One scene where a man was running into the shop (robber) - each time they rehersed a local dog kept jumping in and barking. They left it in.

So a man ran into Tescos to rob it and the dog gave him away, jumping up and barking like hell - and he still manged to rob it.

Nice pic Max. Is it Arranmore Road? I sound like I know, but I've just checked my A-Z and it's the only street that starts with the letters ARR:unibrow:

I agree.
It took me a while to figure out where it was until I recognised the Medical Institution.
