Sometimes they used to show late night films double or triple bill at the ABC either horror or X rated as they were then, we had more fun watching the drunks having fights than watching the films, think we even got kicked out once

That was the odeon, the classic was a very small long cinema where Burger King is now, stunk of **** and smoke and the seats were not nice.

The classic that's it, Saturday morning films and all the kids smoked ..

The boating lake is drained, where have all the paddle boats gone too !!!! Guess the ski centre is still there, I can remember some kid loosing the tips of his fingers on the button lift, should of let go....!

Saw him play at SMS when we had a reserve league, think he started a few times too ? Those were the days even got several thousand going to some games and you could park at SMS for free if there was a space

Just before the hump by the church there is a 30mph sign. We altered it during an Art 'foray' so that it read 80. It remained like that for many a year! I can remember that sign, told my dad to try and break the speed limit when going along there, which he did once, he had taken delivery of his new lancia beta HPE in lime green !!! Ok can anyone remember the orange land train at the sports centre used to run from lordswood end to the boating lake ??

As a kid I grew up in Bassett, when the M27 was being built we used to play on it, either on our bikes or skateboards, at the Roman road tunnel there were some really long storm tunnel sections, too small for bikes but just the right height for laying down on your skateboard, One day we nicked a very large polystrene round block from the motorway, it took us about 4 hours to roll this thing from the top part of the golf course, over the practice pitch and up golf course road, nobody stopped us and the only bit of grief we got was some golfers shouting 4 !!! Happy days

Ok looking to buy some cordless tools drill, jigsaw etc, what is the best batterys out there ? I have been looking at the li ion "lithium-ion battery" or the Ni mh "Nickel-metal hydride battery" Wont be used all the time but like half decent gear that will last, the batteries are inter changeable so could buy one and swap it about. This is quite a good price for starters I think !! http://www.screwfix.com/prods/74113/Power-Tools/Cordless-Drills/DeWalt-18V-Combi-Drill?source=aw&cm_mmc=AffiliateWindow-_-DeepLink-_-Na-_-Na#BVRRWidgetID Thanks in advance

Think it closed down when Toys R us opened ?

Facebook is a good way

Jennings toy shop was the best, below bar.

It was called the Coffee House, had a coffee roasting machine in the front window, was the best smell ever ,,,

I seem to remember a place called Rum Runners, was Southerners called that after it closed ? The Juniper Berry was a classic dive, know as fruit pub by many. I did have some quite weird times in there.................

Anyone remember Mr C's Nr Cumberland place, it was under a hotel

Most of it was armoured, can see why its being nicked all the time now..

Went to emr had just under 40 kilos of low grade stuff, worked out at £1 per kilo. Had a text from a mate who works on the LME, yesterday it peeked at $10,000 per tonne. There was a steady stream of people selling the stuff.

Does anyone know the price for grade 2 copper, got some and would like to sell it ?

If you get close you can see people on the ship jumping off
