Did you ever live in Parson Cross? (Part 2)

Recommended Posts

I have just driven down Herries Rd and seen that the Five Arches pub has been demolished. Very sad. Some good memories.

not to confuse with the arches

Yeah god yeah! I remember that!

 

I`d forgotten all about that place.

 

I also remember a sort of shop/warehouse thing on that industrial estate just past the five arches bridge in the 70s,,, I remember going with my sister and she got me one of those calculators with the red LED numerals... the height of modern technology!

 

We got it from there instead of Freds because it was like 50p cheaper :D

 

i think the place you are talking about was fred hartleys...it was supposed to be trade but i think everyone had got a pass to get in there, we really thought we were buying some real bargains, would be worth a fortune on ebay now though. lol

THATS IT!

 

I knew there was a Fred in there somewhere! :D

 

I got all sorts from there- usually red LED watches and calculators and these things seemed really space age and ultra modern.

That's very deep Mr blue but brilliant, you must put them on the limerick thread though, because we've now gone off topic. (Are you a writer by any chance?)

 

Hi Joto,

You are too kind.

No I am not a writer, although I just joined the Writers Group on this forum and posted the Bolibar poem there.

I just write stuff to relax usually put down first thing that come into my head

Maybe you like this one:

 

Lost in the Post

 

I was reading one of those magazines

With pictures of girls from the Philippines

It said they delivered ‘brides by post’

So I picked out the girl I liked the most

 

Now she was a girl named Angelina

Dressed in a bikini down at the marina

She looked real good laid on the deck

So I filled in the form and wrote out a check

 

I watched for the postman coming to my house

To deliver a package containing my spouse

But I never got the girl I liked the most

My mail order bride got lost in the post

 

I went to the Post Office in the High Street

I said to the clerk ’I’m expecting a treat

A hot Asian babe from over the sea

Please tell me that you have a parcel for me’

 

‘Can you describe the contents please’?

I said ‘Five feet tall with 36Cs’

But he couldn’t find the girl I liked the most

I guess she must have got lost in the post

 

I begged him to please take another look

So he opened up an important looking book

As he read these words I was so dismayed

’ Returned to Sender - Postage Underpaid’

 

So I reached right over gave him a smack

For sending my cute Filipina back

For she was the girl I liked the most

My mail order bride was returned in the post

 

He said ‘Hey man adjust your attitude

When your girl arrived she was in the nude

She should have worn postage stamps at least

So we had no choice but to send her back East ‘

 

Sweet Angelina, I never even kissed her

So I got the magazine and ordered her sister

‘Cos she’s the girl I like second most

I hope she doesn’t get lost in the post
