Did anyone go to La Favorita in the mid 60's on Carver Street(think it's a fashion shop now). Think it was one of the few places you could hang out listen to Motown and the such like.

Yeah , great place , La Favorita !
Ww used to go in after the pubs shut in the mid-.....to late---'60's and it was always full of characters and action , especially at weekends.
I was never into music at that time , so can't comment on that .
There never seemed to be a closing time and in fact after a certain time , they used to do , 'breakfasts '.
In addition to that you could nearly always get some , "sweets " i.e. pep-pills if you knew who to ask and if necessary move onto the all-night bowling alley .......or wherever.
Great days !!

I worked in the kitchen when I left school (approx.1961/2).A lot of my friends used to call in after anight out.Does anybody remember me?

Ah....
Jeff "Beck's Bolero" and Cream's "I feel free" on the juke box, and a Mr.Choudri (sp?) in charge.....
Yes, a great meeting place it certainly was.....

Yes it was great just of Divison Street as you sat in the window there was a small car park.

It was the class place to take new friends on a first date they thought you were class, later we would meet with our Vespas and try and pose.
Those were the days and because you have reminded me I have so many fond meomories of the place and my youth when we were so young and free.

We must all have been in there at the same time! I wonder if any of us ever dated any of us .... :D

Used to spend many a happy Saturday morning there.

I can remember drinking "hot lime" with a drop of sugar in it.It was served in a pyrex glass with a stainless steel holder.Might try one again just to recreate old times.Saturday afternoons used to be good,putting your order in to the shoplifters (Angie and friends) Levis for 50p,tab collar shirts from smc.Then getting "blues or bombers for all-niter at the Mojo from your local pusher or the lads from Peterborough.
