yes it was them. I took my Sub to them, and they sorted it in a couple of days. I didn't think the price was too bad....much cheaper than a decent new sub. Only thing I've ever taken to them, so maybe I was lucky that it all turned out OK... :|

There’s a place on the seven stars estate that fixes av stuff. Sorted my sub out. I’ll see if I can find the name tomorrow

I was in hospital in 2011 for 11 days, on a penicillin drip all the time. The nurses (and doctor's) couldn't seem to get the canular in properly, and had many many tries. Some went through the vein, others did it ok but within an hour or two, I had soreness where the canular was, so they deemed...

Well, if you remember a couple that had a gorgeous blonde daughter... they lived next door to my out-laws.. ;)

Did a few "jobs" as a kid. Window cleaning with my next door neighbour, worked on the bread delivery vans, but got stung too often, the van had loads of wasps in. Switched to helping on a milk round. That was OK except in winter. The driver had the little crate for carrying the milk, I had to...

You probably delivered to my out-laws in Luscombe road then?

I thought i'd got the best job ever when I was an apprentice. It seemed just like an extension to school. Lots of stuff to learn, but lots of "play" time too with mates. 1 morning every week was football, 1 day at college. Regular inter company apprentice competitions where we would use part of...

Yep, happens to us all..

You sure you started in 1963? Those guys were in my year..lol I started in 65... :emoji_smiley: Les lived up the road from me

Who else was in the school football team with you?

Strange but true. His grand-daughter is one of my daughters best friends

His best mate back in the day lived next door to me. ( I used to do a window cleaning round with him during school holidays) He was a handful too, as was 3 of his 5 brothers. always Felt save in the Livvy. Once you were seen with them, nobody bothered you. (16 yrs old fresh faced kid could...

Ok But none of this got reported anywhere as far as I can recall. That’s different today.

Well, the 2 families who hung about together were very well known around wood end. In fact, didn’t you know the older one who got killed in Longford years later?

Agree with most of that nick, but it wasn’t always punches and kicks. My next door neighbour stabbed someone when he was about 17 (5 lads attacked him and his mate) I was 19 at the time. His older brother and his wood end tough mates “visited” each of the witnesses, one was in his bed at...

Not the same one then. We were about 15/16. Although did recognise a couple of lads from Cally. Laughed about it at school.

It would have been ok if you hadn’t gone for the flared trousers.....again... ;-)

I think I’ve mentioned it on here before. The only “battle” we really had was with a load of wyken lads from the kings head. About 30 or so of them decided to do over the wood Enders outside the Livvey. Apparently they all marched up Henley mill lane, and then deedmore road full of Bravado...

Playing football or cricket. Climbing trees fishing down the hot waters or slough. Sorting out the whippersnappers from wyken or potters green who dared to come into wood end lol Carried a Sheath knife most of the time. Only ever used for aiming at trees or playing stretch. Shooting the...

Watched the first film in a marquee at Glastonbury while it was p***ing down outside. Don’t know if it was the beer or not, but enjoyed it. Watched it at home since and enjoyed it again. Liked the Erasure covers too :-)
