  1. That takes me back to the days of my youth hillsbro. There was a stall in there which bought and sold books which I used to visit on a Saturday with my cousin. Bought ‘Classic comics’ from there and still have about a dozen of them. I think the big round edifice in the centre of the hall was a fountain. Thank you, echo.
  2. Last surviving original member of Motown’s group The Spinners. Hits:- Could it be I’m Falling in Love, The Rubberband Man and. Working My Way Back to You a number one in the UK in 1980.
  3. Yes hillsbro, Norfolk Street was originally long and the local saying was ‘ He/she has got a face as long as Norfolk Street’!😃 echo.
  4. That was Jerry Samuels in 1966 according to Wiki. echo.
  5. You’re too young Cressida love. I think it’s his unusual name and the fact that he had a single hit which triggered a memory in me. echo.
  6. Clarence has died aged 87 and you have to a certain vintage to remember him. He accompanied the Beatles on their 1964 US tour and I think had one big hit in the UK. ’I don’t know why I love you, but I do’. echo.
  7. I hate them.😃 In the past only sailors and criminals had tattoos. echo.
  8. A chap round the corner from me bought one last year from the USA. Been working on it to bring it up to roadworthy condition and I’ve seen it on the road. Another resident, who I call Toad of Toad Hall, has a collection of vintage motors. He looks like a character from Wind in the Willows when he drives passed wearing his deer stalker hat.😃 echo.
  9. Used cars all came with rust as standard in those days. Recall the Vauxhall Victor model which was so badly designed it almost came off the production line rusting. It took Vauxhall many years to get rid of that bad reputation. echo.
  10. If you’d kept it Jim it would be worth a fortune now, just like many cars I’ve sold in the past. echo.
  11. The cheapest car I’ve bought was a Moggie Minor in 1964 which cost me £25. Mind you the air conditioning was a hole in the passenger side footwell!😃 Your £700 is about equivalent to that £25 sixty years ago so good luck with your quest. echo.
  12. Makes you wonder how he was selected in the first place for teacher training in this country, assuming he was trained here. echo.
  13. For others it might have “See me!” 😄 echo.
  14. At my age Anna I’d push it up to 125. That would do nicely, thank you.😃 echo.
