Re: i remember when.....
used t use them as chalk for hop scotch board. We are 30yrs married.
 Dont seem so long 4 grown up children two of each 2 boys 2 girls in that order and eight Grandchildren. Cost a bomb at Christmas.Better a Gran than a mum though you can love them to bits have all the good bits and give them back. Nice to see them come and nice to see them go. They light up our life and keep me young. |

Re: i remember when.....
I went for a job at ASDA on blackburn rd ..Glynn Webb is there now... I was offered the job but it was what was then reffered to as "A closed shop" Is that the expression? nothing to do with being a shop... But it had a union and you had to join it... you couldn't work there unless you joined the union... I think the term was closed shop and that is now of course illegal...
Anyway even at that early age I had a distinct dislike for unions so I turned the job down... I was living in Blackburn (for a short period) at the time so must be well over 20 years ago.. |

Re: i remember when.....
Yeah that's the term Harry
Anyone remember that place being Bleasdales Cars? That's why the ramp was there, to get the cars down from the upper floor. Was hard work on your own with a fully stacked trolley on that ramp, could easily go out of control ;D

Re: i remember when.....
We ad a bath in front of the fire on a friday night. Toast done on an open fire. mm nothing like it. My mouth is watering at the thought.
Do you remember playing on the big rock on the little park Harry. Also do you remember bugging the work men in Atwaters factory and that smell. Or hows about playing in the miley tunnel? |
