Thanks for the newspapers ,I used to sort through them tear the large ones in half ,throw out any bad ones and stack them ready to go on the counter, don't think the health authoritys would allow it these days.

puddinburner   10 #89 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) The bloke who ran the chipshop at Base Green was my father, he did do a lot of things for St Peters but did not die on the church steps, but in hospital in Sheffield.  Gosh that was the rumour that scared us kids for years. I remember him, best fish n chips ever. Bless him.

mikep57 Â Â 10 #93 Posted July 29, 2016 Can anyone remember the road from the Old Harrow to Birley Lane being call "The Nabb"? Â The top of Fox Lane, the highest point in the area was the 'Nab'. I knew a chap who lived there and when he queried as to why his house insurance premium had been increased he was told it was extra cover for 'FLOOD' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Duke007 Â Â 10 #94 Posted September 14, 2018 They accepted the offer because Brian Epstein told them to (according to P.S.) saying he (B.E.) would not renege-albeit verbal- on a business agreement which thrilled a lot of lads and lasses no end. 'Love Me Do' was in the lower reaches of the charts in October 1962 and by the time they got to the Azena, April 1963, they'd gone one better with 'Please Please Me.' Â Hi, I own the Challen Baby Grand piano that Zena owned and that John Lennon played April 63 as far as I know. Does anyone have any photos of this?
