leeslover Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I suspect that Mr Shiny will not be taking calls whilst the film is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I suspect that Mr Shiny will not be taking calls whilst the film is on. 'appens you're right. The neighbours had to come round to complain as I kept leaping off the settee shouting 'hang the bastard, hang him, hang him' and 'have some of that yer fecker' etc etc Bring it back, let's have a couple a day. The took my advice - they brought it back National costume was all-over-black There were corpses in the avenues and cul-de-sacs Piled up neatly in six-man stacks Hanging from the traffic lights and specially made racks They'd hang you for incontinence and fiddling your tax Failure to hang yourself justified the axe A deedely dee, a deedely dum Looks like they brought back hangin' for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoafc Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's hard to imagine all the shops that were there along that stretch back then. Motorbike shop, Glass shop, two Antique shops, another three pubs (Old Post, Hat & Feather and Kings), Furniture shop, Jeweller, Taxi office, Sewing shop amongst others. HTPS was just lower than Baxter St. I'll be 34 at the end of this year, and I remember the motorbike shop and the glass shop (I'd fotgotted until you reminded me - I recall going in with my old man when I was a real small nipper). I certainly don't recall the jewellers though (unless that was in the row up opposite the Bowling Green). Lots of the shops had gone by the time I got to drinking age when I'd occasionally go in the Old Post with my mate and his dad (who died earleir this year god rest his soul). I remember it having a door on Manchester Road and a door on Hollins Road, and then Tracey's ladieswear shop was perched right on the corner. I've got a print by a local artist depicting the area at home. If I can get a decent photo/scan of it I'l post it up on here for the memories!
