| BPF - who are Taylor's pies? Washerman think it must be Beans - they've been there since 1933(last time Blackpool scored). How come you know Cleveleys? cheers,Steve |

| Woodspeckie,not had any of the scones - Streets used to be good for cream teas. Sad person that I am - just found out why there is so much mud on Cleveleys beach - it is the remains of a submerged forest,the oak tree stumps are still there. Sea flooded in as far as Garstang in 1555 - but no I wasn't there ,but interesting stuff. You still need HINFY for old jokes,regards Steve |

| Victoria Road in Cleveleys used to be one of the busiest and best shopping areas on the Fylde coast. A refreshing break from Bank Hey Street, Blackpool - especially when the Tower Lounge let out. The No.3 on Park Rd. was run by a gentlemanly, gentleman who I understand tees off round these parts! Washerman |

| Arthur, would have liked to have gone along to HINFY live sessions - I believe they went on for about 3 hours with Humph playing we'll meet again on the trumpet. Cleveleys has the Regal Hotel,Victoria Pub and Tramway - great cheap £3.50 carvery if anyone is over. Just a pity they started building on flood and boggy areas - greedy builders and illogical buyers - and they think it just goes on in TRNC. Not yet spoilt by mass immigration - but that is another topic - as are lucky bags,£sd,Star Trek,Mr Pastry,Crackerjack and jumping crackers ... nostagia and showing my age ... will now boldly detonate my phaser,gather warp speed ...and go to Kyrenia in 3 weeks,kind regards to all,Steve |
