Perfectly understandable--changed over the years. I was typical teddy boy with the elvis quiff. Really enjoyed the bopping. Usually picked the girls that could dance forever--Beverley Banyard springs to mind---always game for the fast ones---"pick a bale o'cotton" and similar.

Girls names at my time that I specificallyremember----Bev as above--an Ossy girl, Carole Pickup--Dill Hall Lane, Barbara Wilson--Exchange Street, Heather Loveluck--off Willows Lane

Boys----Chris Kenyon, Bernard ? Cocker??, Tony Woods, Jeff Haley
Wish I could remember more but in any event would never recognize them now

Lawrence Brennand ring any bells??

Ha Ha Dougie Payton, always wondered what his fingers smelled of, sure as hell wasn't antiseptic.

Next door to him was our doctor, Lancett-Edwards, always thought that was a great name for a doctor! We lived across the road from both of them.

I don't remember seeing you in the Dahlia back in those days Cashy. I always thought the Astronaut was your choice of venue with the greasers.
