I see the mothers pride bread and the woman letting her skirt up is she having a cheeky squeeze of a fart before hubby comes in the room 

I love the way your mind works mitre.

Most of us would have looked at that pic , and saw an attractive young woman , in stockings and suspenders , showing her sense of humour , but you looked and saw some bird squeezing out a fart .

My thoughts were that she's warming up hubby's supper

That's what i was on about with the colour in life back then, look at what kids wear today and it's bland  and we wonder why their brains are all clouded and grey inside..

Was telling my daughter that we didn't have school uniform at juniors or secondary school she couldn't believe it....

And then when I told her lads and lasses dressed as full on Punks...Mods...heavy metal new romantic...I told her other girls would wear skin tight denim jeans ...high heals skimpy blouses....dressed like a young woman out on the pull in town...great times ..lol

My first year junior school teacher was a beardy hippy with purple shirts, cords, sandles and even a cravat  and he rode a horse to school, me and another lad used to take it water and food in buckets at break times. We once had a spell of tuck money going missing from coat pockets and one day when he knew who it was he grabbed this gypo kid by the ankles and shook the money out of his pockets holding him upside down.

I remember me and my pals having airgun wars alll over docklands [BANNED TEXT] redbrick rd which was start of Canary Wharf ,an chasing odd fox all about

[dai dogs 2,210]

Walking the streets with Air guns Shooting crows off Chimney tops neighbours shouting Watch the f***ing Windows going out at night with torch gun & shooting Roosting pigeons under railway bridges Bird nesting egg collections Ratting near local brooks with ferrets & Terriers Rearing Buzzard chicks and other birds of prey Catching mice in empty jam jars on the fields to feed the Hawks & ferrets Making Dutch arrows Hunting with almost every mongrel from the housing estate walking miles trying to find a fox mostly unsuccessful Collecting coal from the waste tips good times nice memories

I remember we used to lamp the fox down on Mud-chute,the Isle of Dogs small newspaper had headlines “Gypsies hunt Mud-chute foxes” I went back earlier this year we had the caravans on Grenade street and Rich street,I couldn’t find where we were parked as the area is built up,progress I guess.
