Slang: Time for a bit of education.....

Is right saint, hang on im just gonna make a cup of George Henry Lee but **** no Reeces cakes.

 

Me mam worked for Sayers so we might not have had hot water or an inside lav but we did have cake.

 

Sayers has dwindled to only a few shops now sadly, their humpty back pasties(traditional)were the best.

 

I had a Saturday job at Lewis's on the paint department - so I did a lot of standing about! The only shop in town where nearly the whole staff were completely pissed on Christmas Eve - before the shop had closed.

 

Our Audrey worked at Sayers on Aigburth Road

 

Funnily enough at that same time 90% of houses in the Liverpool area were freshly painted.

 

In those days Eggy Rd was posh

My old ma worked in the one in County Road.

 

By Goodison i think you once said saint?

I think its still there.

 

Mate of mine Brian Cronin lived on County Road - so in the best Yank tradition "do you know him?"

 

ffs dave its a small world, me and him went to different schools together.

 

That lad always was a bit confused

 

Yeah. I was dragged up just off Goodison Road (I know, I know). I think there is one still in County Road, but it's not in the same place.
It's down by Walton Church, but ours was nearer the Spellow Lane end. I don't know if it moved or if there were originally two.


Eggy Road was too far south for me as a kid, though we did have the odd expedition to Otterspool. It was only when I started work in Speke that I got for familiar with that neck of the woods.

 

Obviously.

 

There is still a Sayers at the bottom of Spellow as you turn right just past the bank.

 

My first real job was at Evans Medical in Speke

 

Remember it well.
I worked in a printing origination house in Woodend Avenue- we used to make plates for Evans.

 

my first job was on the clubship landfall in the collingwood dock, only lasted a few months but i had a bigger stocked bar in our house than donald trump when i finished.
