I had a pair of crepe soles once - they were great for rubbing out chalk marks on flagstones when you were redoing the markings for hopscotch.

Who remembers the "Polish" grocers shop in accy? 50s/early 60s was a top guy with a mustache, that ran it, forget his name or when it closed was on whalley road across from "Marshalls":confused:

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

That deli was on Melbourne St, on the corner opposite Melbourne House, before it was demolished to make the dual carriageway.
They were a lovely couple who owned it. They were refugees from the Hungarian revolution (the 1st one -that failed)

I was weaned on Lions mild in 1962/63 at 1/3d a pint that's perhaps why I don't remember much of this

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Richard is the only one of the Henry brothers still alive both Tom and John died a few years ago. John lived a few doors away from me for a while and often popped in for a chat, his son Jack(who I went to school with)still lives on the John Street Estate in Ossy

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Me too Tony, in the Heys Inn, I was always told if you can drink Lions you can tame um:D

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Yes cashy - I remember 1947 - just. We lived in Oswald St and everyone cleared their section of pavement, The mounds of snow were so high that we kids built snow caves in them - sledging down the street and straight acroos Washington St - what would Health & Safety think of that nowadays.

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

thought the saying was ..."Thwaites for mates , Duttons for gluttons and if you sup Lions you deserve a bloody clawing " :D

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Well Lions was definitely an acquired taste SJ, and I managed to acquire it at an early age:D
