Seen a few old photos this week on FB Hull the good old days, biddies queuing for littlewoods to open in 1955 and one of biddies clutching their handbags just like Cissie & Ada off Les Dawson sat amongst the pigeon **** around the ****ty Fletchers fountain with noisy traffic roaring past on Jameson Street and bonkers old people on FB posting 'happy days', 'town was much better in the good old days' etc. What now looks like an austere post-war dystopia is still seen as utopia by crazy old people.
We might have had it tough in the fifties lad but it taught us to embrace the positives (take note Nige). At least there were no Allams.
I still my son and stepson (22 and 21 respectively) that life really was black and white with shades in between. Well that's how I remember it.
Yes but he had just heard of the good things in Hull like the Fletchers Fountain and places like Mackmans were you could eat like a King for sixpence. Who wouldn’t have wanted to come to and try it.
Doesn't look like the ones tossing it off in the pigeon **** around Fletchers Fountain had it that tough, old boy.
She is six, I hope you told her why and didn't laugh at her. I didn't learn about basic cinematography until I was about 10.
When my generation was that age we asked why in all the films our grandparents watched when they were young people walked very fast in a funny manner.
Of course I did, I was watching an old WW2 film, she asked that question and, "Who are we fighting?" I answered, " The Germans." She then asked, " Why is your best friend ( Roland ) a German and you are still friends with him?" Which entailed some more explaining.
You are correct, I have 6 gorgeous Grandchildren, they never never fail to amaze me with their insight and then questions. I know that you are a School Teacher and come into contact with such things every day. My wife was also A school teacher for over 30 years until her retirement, she had some wonderful tales. Keep up your good work.
Just watching Andrew Marr's Sleuths, Spies and Sorcerers (BBC 4) and, when he gets to Len Deighton, Marr is reading a period newspaper. A prominent article has the heading "Franklin can go say Hul City". Where will it all end?
Well spotted When City signed him ('51), he was the most expensive defender in the world to that point. Interesting article in link below. https://ahalftimereport.com/2015/06/12/neilfranklin/
