Just to think that little Anglia has driven through Europe, brave lad. My Dad's one used to break down going to New Brighton lol

My older brothers broke down going to the chip shop- the lads in the chippy pushed it to give us a jump start lol

Where our Derby game is named from - as Lord Derby was an invited guest way back & the name of the game stuck -

Interesting if true, sounds plausible enough

Remember, many a time, legging it across that road cos the 6C was coming. Don't know why really. There were so many buses in those days it would probably only been a 5 - 10 min wait for the H8 or something ...

The buses were so cheap too - plus hw many times you handed your money to the conductors & that gave you half of your money back & were told to,pick a used ticket of the floor if the inspector boarded lol

Remember a universal maximum fare of 25p for awhile.

I used to plant these up working on a plank it took 2 days & 2 staff plus me - from scratch a work of art - then the clipping afterwards - high maintenance - i won an award for the best in the UK once - high competition indeed -

The cuckoo clock, Woolton woods -

There were two ways of doing these in a jigsaw at the nursery under the glass very costly or on site planted straight in from a blank canvas on a plank - I was told to do it the direct way - I had to go to the library to see the best way ... never done one ever before it was in my job description I had mis read -
A struggle at first - My father in law made me a large wooden compass - still have it in my garage ....they were hard work to set up & keep maintained clipping with sheep shears etc .... they are a dying breed now .....

….Liverpool ‘filled-in’ the original Cavern Club and turned it into a bit of land for car parking.

Evidently there was a fruit store above it - no alcohol licence permitted on the first Cavern ... there have been three in all -

…..Martins Bank, junction of Mill La/Eaton Rd. It became Barclays Bank in 1969. Not far from Bellefield, I recall being behind Gary Lineker in the queue in the mid-80s;

It is I read a historic book & Lord Derby was invited & the Derby game named after him stuck ... he was a big important person back then when football was in its infancy - early 1900s
