As the guy responsible for the hi-jacking of this thread (I mentioned Mad Harrys), may I take this opportunity to apologise to anyone under the age of 174 who have no idea what us old farts are on about.  But maybe one day in about 30 years time you'll be doing the same about the old ground called Blundell Park.  The Parkway cinema, Freeman St etc etc.

Your turn will come yoof, and quicker than you would realise.


Don't worry, it's a benign hijack. As Town fans, we all love a good old reminisce.

As for 30 years hence, they'll be laughing at us being photographed with our primitive and chunky iPads/smart phones

Is Hewins still there? - was near the mcdonalds in town


It's still near there. There's a small arcade running down near there and Hewins is at the back there. Or at least it was last time I looked which would have been, erm, 15 years ago?

Loftus's was a great toy shop.  Although not the mystery investor here as they went bust.  

My dad and grandparents lived opposite Loftus's so I used to drool at their shop window before and after matches.   When I was a kid of course.

They don't make toy shops like that anymore.

Old farts? You speak for yourself, my farts are still as fresh as the the day I had my first pint of double diamonds. And still works wonders ha ha.

Yes my mam worked in that Woolies and I always remember going to the Bazaar to buy caps for my cowboy gun and the rocket you would throw has high as you could and hope it came down straight so that it would make a bang.


Council will require you and anyone in the vicinity to wear hard hats ear and eye protection with warning notices around your throwing perimeter before you are allowed to play in that fashion nowerdays------Boo Fenty out

On the Woolworth front. When it first became apparent they were struggling a mate of mine came up with a possible solution.

If everyone that had ever nicked goodies or toys from them, gave back a quid. They would never have folded !!
(Reckon I'd have put a fiver in   ).


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Good job you added 'lift' to that sentence
