I had a pair of crepe soles once - they were great for rubbing out chalk marks on flagstones when you were redoing the markings for hopscotch.

That deli was on Melbourne St, on the corner opposite Melbourne House, before it was demolished to make the dual carriageway.
They were a lovely couple who owned it. They were refugees from the Hungarian revolution (the 1st one -that failed)

Richard is the only one of the Henry brothers still alive both Tom and John died a few years ago. John lived a few doors away from me for a while and often popped in for a chat, his son Jack(who I went to school with)still lives on the John Street Estate in Ossy

Yes cashy - I remember 1947 - just. We lived in Oswald St and everyone cleared their section of pavement, The mounds of snow were so high that we kids built snow caves in them - sledging down the street and straight acroos Washington St - what would Health & Safety think of that nowadays.

Well Lions was definitely an acquired taste SJ, and I managed to acquire it at an early age
