Title: Photo sent to me
Post by: Old Cruser on March 31, 2013, 07:55:55 PM

A relative has emailed a couple of photo's of me when I was about 16/17yrs old - think my mirror can't be working because the face looking out at me isn't like the one sent to me  ;)
It's stirred up memories of the olden days.
Coal fires with mums brothers (we all lived together) warming their backsides near the fireguard. Lino on the floors and a loose rug or two. Potties under the bed - strange how we used them even though we had an upstairs bathroom - old habbits die hard. Frost inside the windows upstairs - and dad  trying to de-ice the water pipe which came outside from the bathroom.
And that young lass with the black hair and Dusty Springfield eyes --- wonder where she went too.

It's a bit big (fills the screen ) when I opened it up apparently converted from a slide?
Anyway will have a go at down sizing it.

Here's one of me and my younger brother, given to me when my older brother died a short while ago.

Apparently I didn't always look like a Headmaster... (Bit of a gay haircut though LOL)

Ohhh yesss Slackey matching the photo's now Jon has posted so can I.
The haircut of your younger brother is the same as my younger brother used to have - looks like they both had thick curly hair as well.
How styles have changed over the years in hair and clothing only to be revamped a few years later.
