Barons Hey,

Oh look! A

Ford Anglia with a Liverpool registration and a go-faster stripe. I had one once - a banger. Bought it from the Parkfield auctions and the doors kept

flying open going around corners.

I thought you'd remark on the Ford Anglia
I think my

Dad's car was the Vauxhall Viva just behind it.

Vauxhall Victor, not Viva. The Anglia is the De-luxe with the full chrome grill and someone put a badge bar on it. Yes people would

put metal badges on these - yes, they really did! They would lacerate pedestrians if they hit them.

Vauxhall

Victor, not Viva.

Spot on. Apologies.

Mum and I having a dance and a laugh at Huyton Social Club. Probably circa 1985!

I'm NOT GAY! **** you!
1976. On top of the roof of our digs in Highbury New Park, London N5. The two Japanese lads were on secondment for 2 years. I can't recall the middle lad's name, but the one on the right is Tsukata Watanabe. I was really into martial arts at the time and he was my sparring partner. He used to kick me all over the gym
He's a big shot at Narita Airport nowadays. Loves his malt whisky, as do most Japanese men

Cracking photie, Lindy
Were you on holiday?

[scouserdave]

Check out the keks!
Taken outside Paddy's Wigwan in late '75. My lovely Dad on the left.

Bell bottoms, Dave?

[scouserdave]

Bell bottoms, Dave?

My youngest lad and his mates saw this photo at lunchtime and started taking the piss out of me. Cheeky young whippersnappers!

You know who's to blame for this recent glut of photos? Lindylou! If she didn't post those cracking Rock Against Racism photies, I wouldn't have rummaged through mine.
Here's another.
Stalybridge, Cheshire at my brother Colin's wedding in 1980. My Mum's a bit prim and proper and she's giving me one of THOSE LOOKS because I made (lets call it) an inappropriate remark to one of my mates who was out of camera view giving me the W----r sign. The lad who's got his head in the picture between my Mum and Dad is Steve Molyneux, Cantril Farm's most flamboyant cross dresser

I think I'm wearing bellbottoms or flares on that photo.
I have to think now ... were bell bottoms wider than flares ?? !
The satin top I'm wearing was very fashionable at that time.

That photo was taken at a caravan site in Wales.

**** you Davey... I just spent two minutes trying to wipe the dust off me monitor
