I was always a fan of fluid Citroens, and had a few BXs (hatches and an estate). Great cars that cost peanuts to buy and run, although the non-turbo diesel wagon was sloth-like. However, it took four of us to the Rhine and Mosel, and returned loaded to the gunwhales with wine and beer...

Yep. I seem to recall there was a branch of each at the very end (T junction) of Bell Green Road? My memory plays tricks these days though.

Ya think?

Bloke in the seat in front of you looks pissed off. It landed in his Bovril.

I want the 'Jimmy Hill Away Area' specially for visting Sunderland fans.

As if that was ever a thing. Good deception though 😉😂

I already am...

We're starting from Dublin and will spend some time in Ulster early on, before doing the Wild Atlantic Way (with diversions inland). Hope to hook up with an old mate who lives in Cobh (Cork port) but sod's law dictates that he's away in Brittany about the time we hit that area, so who knows? We...

The thought of buggering off to Ireland soon for six weeks touring in my van makes me quite happy. Always wanted to explore more. It's about 35 years since our only visit (to Crookhaven, County Cork), so we're ready for it.

Memories of driving along Roland Avenue and Hen Lane every weekday, watching the progress on the skyline. It all seemed so positive and full of promise...

My dad was born on the same day as Fats Domino - so 'ave a piece of that pizza! 😉 (Edit - which was also Johnny Cash's birthday, but a few years apart).

Or Gilmour 😉 Vera. Every time my missus watches that particular programme, my inner Floyd goes straight into 'does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?'...

Tough listen, although I often do. WYWH stands out head and shoulders above though IMHO.

Yes it was. Me and a couple of mates from Climax Widd Rd used th skive off up there regularly to browse records and then have a brew and a batch in the D& T.

Took me about ten trips to HMV to get a decent playable pressing of this when it was first released. Still have it - still comfortably numb.

Had a quick look, but can't see her mentioned. Just recently heard that Judy Loe passed last month. Actress and widow of the great Richard Beckinsale (and much more recently, TV Director Roy Battersby), and mother of Kate Beckinsale. Liked her.

Oh dear. I missed that. Loved Ray in the unforgettable Cathy Come Home, and as Robbie Box.

Sounds like it to me anyway...

Could be this one?

Yep. Always used to grow my own tomatoes (and lots of other veg) when I had a 160ft back garden. Really haven't the patience or room now, but really miss good toms. Might bung a few plants in next year for old times' sake.
