From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Take away the B&W telly (albeit the portable I had in my room was B&W) and the 80's were little different.
Constantly moving the round wire aerial to try and get a decent picture! |

Bottled Guinness was absolute lately foul. No wonder it’s only cans now.
As a 13 year old I was given, prescribed really, a bottle Mann’s daily when I was recovering from a burst appendix.
That and Guinness were regular ‘iron providers’. My dear old mum, who had leukaemia, was fobbed off with Guinness. May as well have tried leeches!

Wonderful stuff if you had one of these but frustrating if you couldn't open!

Heath and the 3 day week. Start of Thatcher’s Britain. Strikes aplenty. It was dreary - although I skipped most of it in Oman. |

My old man was based in Aden, Jordan and Oman in the services, but that was back in the 50's doing his National Service, he was with the Glorious Glosters. |

I was based in Salalah in Oman, with frequent jaunts into Aden (nowadays South Yemen). Interesting times! |

I've heard people talk like this before. Personally I loved the early 70s. Shagging anything that moved in my mini van, Lager by candle light. Working on the buildings I was lucky enough to keep earning all the way through. It was the 80s when i married when life went down hill. |
