The Pink Echo, out by 5.15 on a Saturday night...........
Remeber how the first half was reported on in all its detail, but the last 10 minutes of the games was reduced to snap comment, so if there was a glut of goals at the end the report it would just read (in bold print of course) something like "Young scored after 87 minutes. Haynes grabbed an equaliser. Vernon scored a penalty to make it 6-5."
 
Jolly ranchers. Fizzy cola chewits. Kids making their own way to school. Fighting with other schools. Helly Hansen jackets and rockport boots. Wade Smith(all 4 of them) then Open. George Henry Lee. C&A. Lewis's.
 
The Somali Social Club on Princes Ave on the way out to Sefton Park? Used to pass that every day on the bus, looked proper scary.

Probably was but when your 19 you're bullet proof aren't you, also people were more tolerant back then. I don't think it was there back then though it was somewhere around Percy St / Upper Parlie on the right as you go down the hill. I worked with a Somali lid in Speke in the late 60's. who invited me and the other apprentices down after work for friday after work beers... I used to have my membership card in a box somewhere but I've moved around so much it could be anywhwere
 
There used to be a 24hr drinker about 100ys past the Tizer Factory up Aigburth Vale in an old 4 storey Terrace, can't remember the name.
