    Buttercups, aye, not seen any for yonks, but we do get the grand-bairns making daisy chains and looking for four-leaf clover.

    We're seen more bees this year than for quite a while, too.

    But Dragonflies have just about vanished; beautiful things, what a shame; maybe it's different further south.

    Been reading about the Badger cull situation, extremely sad that the professions cannot get together in a dark room and come out with a plan that doesn't include killing them. How long before they are a subject for a thread such as this?

    There's no problem getting a Harrington or loafers, even Sta Press and a Crombie are easy enough to get hold of.

    I haven't been to Hull in forty years but hope to get back in the next couple of years. Things that I remember and haven't previously mentioned that have probably gone, include:

    The local copper on foot patrol
    A little shop on just about every street corner
    Street sweepers with a broom, shovel and cart
    Street lamp lighters
    Hull telephones Dial A Disc
    Hull Brewery mild
    Trawlermen (The young ones in flash teddy boy suits, brothel creepers and Brylcreamed hair)

    Castrol R.

    But that might be because I haven't ridden a two stroke since 1980.



    But the smell!
