When I Was A Lad.

[Theland]

When I was a lad, you could take a quid, go to the pictures with your girlfriend,, pop into the pub for the last drink on the way home, get fish and chips, and the last bus home, and still have fifteen bob left over.

Do you believe me?

Do you have similar stories to tell your kids / grandkids?

When I were a lad the only Stella I knew worked behind the bar. We drank Brown split and the only French type stuff was Babycham. A mucky duck(Babycham and Brandy) and Stella was anybody's Lol

Ye would do it again. But this time wear a skid lid.
Glad my lads never bothered. Too dangerous!

it all seemed so innocent then, that first strangulated kiss, seems like another life. It had its fun times that's for sure.

Granny brought over the kid
and I said: do you realised that when we were at school the teachers used to clout us if we got things wrong
and she added or just clout us anyway

and his little eyes went like dinner plates ..... ( aged 10)

I remember the 'Pictures' being a shilling (5p) We would put our cash together , so one of us got in. The one 'in' then sneaked to the back and opened the emergency exit and let the rest in. Did that dozens of times and never got caught.
