They always made me repeat the divi numbers before sending me to the CO-OP? Happy Days Same here, used to run down the street repeating it to myself. Your mam used to send you to the shop when you was quite young, we had a lot more freedom in the 50's and 60's. They were happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what they did wasn’t against the rules, you would never catch Leeds doing anything dirty. I’ve just had a Middlesbrough fan telling me that Crooks isn’t a dirty player. ?

Never drank there, but had my first pint in a town pub at its 'replacement' in the Eagle Centre development - The Trident on Albion Street, now also gone.

It was my nick name for it. I don't know if Shades became Chelsea Girl though. Who remembers Clouds which then became Cleopatra's on London Road? On Thursday night we'd all sit onthe floor shaking and nodding our heads to bands like Barclay James Harvest. Sure that's why I've got arthritis in my neck now. Sorry to all those who don't like the ' any old shyte' but it beats going round in circles speculating IMHO. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
