We all have memories young or old so just wondered if you would like to join in and share some of yours?
As a child I remember the small black and white tele coming in and the excitment watching muffin the mule, johnny morris (hot chesnut man), wooden tops ------ :)

Breaking down, (flat tyre), on the motorbike and sidecar on the way to Skeggy, 1971 ish.
Couldn't believe it when friends from down the street drove past us pipping and waving.
They thought we'd stopped for a rest LOL
PS. Dad's motor, I was about 4.
Old telly programs are always a good subject.
Bagpus,
Mary Mungo and Midge,
Play school etc

One of my earliest memories was of my great grandfather who would sit all day by an open fire gobbing into it... :-[
-
The house, adjoined at the back used to be occupied by my Grandma and Granddad.
They were the offices caretakers.
Never had a problem parking in town in those days, straight into the carpark at the back ;)
Still remember dad bumping the front wing on the gate post one day, mum went balistic.
Couple of weeks later, mum did the same, other wing LOL
-
Ohh yes gobbing into the fire I remember the men in our house doing that as getting out the snuff tin.
Fly I think the tv progms were in my younger brothers time which you watched, I think they also watched thunderbirds.
I always had to watch TOT Pops and drove dad mad! Also wore black eyeliner 9remember Dusty Springfield, dad didn't like that either --- he said i looked as if I had been down the bl---y pit!! Nowt wrong with the pit lads eh!!

We went to Mablethorpe for several years with a lot of extended family in some cases. My sister was a bit upset first time we went abroad as a family at the idea of not going to Mablethorpe.
-
Aye mablethorpe was our family holiday in fact i remember one year parents saying we thought you were getting bored anywhere else you want to go and we refused mablethorpe was and still is my favourite place to go.
Taken the other half who had never been and also taken Laura as well, may take her again when we can afford to go.

Skeggy or blackpool was our holiday places when kids. Spent many a few hours in one of the large sea front shelters with a bag of nuts and a ball in rainy weather when we couldn't go back to boarding house and parents not enough cash to keep paying for indoor activities (3 kids and only dad working)I loved the bagged shrimps which were sold on the sea front
