Might be, looks like the old green Crossville buses - could be going to Parkgate.

Grateful for the Neston route in the early eighties. Think it was the 87 dropping me off at the Marconi factory

When did paper timetables fpr buses and trains become obsolete ? It's bloody annoying. And for that matter, bus timetables at the stop only show the departing time, not the full timetable. No doubt because people complained about not being able to read the 24 hour clock.

Remember getting the bus from that stop to Chester then on to some back of beyond village in North Wales, pouring rain. When you're a kid it seems like the journey took the whole day.

They additives all had long strange names back then. No "E" numbers like today. Kids that we were back then, at the end of the day we took all the defected pops to the skips for waste. Then the pop fights started all of us going home drenched in sticky artificial flavouring.
Not on Thursday though. Payday saw me at fifteen going into one of the pubs on Old Chester Road on way home. Start of the slippery slope!

The good stuff could dye your urine, highly amusing when you're a ten year old.

Still using the stuff in curries. My piss stinks like the Bengali Palace after one Xacuti.

Not a bad beginning for Evertonians such as myself and a few others on here.

The flooring reminds me of my primary school hall. Polished once a week so you could see your reflection in it by the janitor.

Oh yes, also had my wedding reception there. Look at all the girls in the queue, read the poster on the wall and Ladies (??) free before 10.30 could be the reason.
