Hehehehehee yeh remember that - did it deter some of the youngsters nope specially on the school runs when some lads thought it was clever to spit down the stairwell from top & compete to see if they could hit every step - hitting someone with spittal was a bonus uuurrrggghhhh

Them days being able to smoke on buses top deck

Have u old piccy of up here then?

No I don't. I'd love to see some shots from the 70s up around Fern Gore and Green Haworth. Apart from the trees and the fact that our pen was leveled I don't think the top end of Fern Gore or Miller Fold as changed.

Have you got a big fancy house or just a lot of land to keep those buses on ?

Talking of Green Howarth, I was just looking at these pictures of the snow up there in the '70s.

By heck, we don't get winters like we did then.

Strange isn’t it. You’d think we’d grow up or forget. I use to get excited when I use to see our Buses coming in to Blackpool, always wanted to climb on and come home. I never did though.

I noticed you where looking a bit dated

We had flat concreat porches around the front doors when I was up Miller Fold. Anyone remember the woodern roof tiles? I think they replace them in about 1970. I remember they put solid floors down a little afterwards and the last thing we got was the little black and white boiler stoves.
