Off Topic Old sunderland

So you guys met up then

 

Yep, while them ****ing crabs nick your bait.

 

One for you...

 

Bastard things

 

The good old days.

 

I can see my seat !
I really can see exactly where I used to stand

 

I caught crabs once in Holland, funny as **** trying to ask a non English speaking Dutch bird for crab ointment. Got too embarrassed in the end and walked out, went back to the digs and shaved the lot off and doused my crown jewels with vinegar. That ****ing hurt I tell you.

 

I assume it wasn't near where Relic used to stand.

 

Fixed

 

Any of the Redhouse lads remember the bus route and the old North and South terminuses we used to hang around the North one every night. It was a great estate to grow up on in those days, so different to-day. Those travelling shops did a roaring trade, the place was a gold mine for them before the shopping centre was built.. The back door traders in Southwick were less commercial, you could still buy a glass of pop and a toffee apple for a penny down that way, a cheap treat, then you had Lizzie Anns, fish and chip shop, far better than Alberts , The Savoy, Cinema and Dance then, Evans Brick Yard, Stoney Lane, the Quarries and Thompsons Park what better place was there to spend your summer holidays.

 

I can remember it, would have made a great location for a Roman Polanski movie.

 

Aye was some good battle with the blackies, once remember the night they were hiding in the house at the top of boldon bank had to stand and fight that night.
Good old days on town end farm was never a dull day loved it.

 

They were called blackies because they never washed

 

Was the headmaster geordie lee walked with a limp. Had the cane many times off him.

 

Use too be a little pond there full frogs and newts.

 

Was it called lockeys farm.

 

Aye that's the bloke, he had a ket shop down fullwell over looking the docks. Me and my mate got caught nicking kets out of his shop, didn't know it was his shop until the **** was lashing us with his cane in front of the whole school in assembly. He gave my mate an extra couple cos his hands were dirty

 

Aye, old farmer loche, I spent my child hood in them quarries mate, used to be a pond in there where they'd dug it out yonks ago for landfill but was never used until the last 15 years I reckon. It's all filled in now but often wonder if the quarry in Locke's side of the land is still there cos there used to be an old, half buried flour mill in the land and i'm pretty certain it was listed. I might have a dodge up when I get home.
