I'd agree, Jay, and I knew Willie back in the day, as he was a good mate of me dad's. Stood there supping shorts with him and the old feller many a time in the deep end at the Stop!

Yeah, but you wouldn't have enjoyed yourself half as much!

When we were kids at Holy Family Kevin played drums, and he was damn good!
Played lots of local gigs.

One long parade of young people.

Wasn't a Calder or Blue Dahlia in those days, so 'cept for the Sunday Schools, local dances, where else could you go to meet a future spouse ?

Does anyone remember "Geordy,the paper seller from Blackburn, selling his "Last Pinks" at the bottom of St James St across from the deck. He wore a flat cap, a long rainmack buttoned down to his ankles, and pinned to his mack were his war medals. Rumour was he had nothing on under his mack. He was certainly a Accy personality in those days

I can remember two of them selling papers .

Geordy was a short , stocky man , and I think the Sid you refer to was a thin , wiry man .

If I remember rightly , one stood at the corner of St James St and the other nearer Church St .

Yeh Sids pitch was in Redmans doorway bottom of St James St.

yer correct sid was wiry or even slippery if yeh gave him brass.
