One long parade of young people.
Wasn't a Calder or Blue Dahlia in those days, so 'cept for the Sunday Schools, local dances, where else could you go to meet a future spouse ?

Does anyone remember "Geordy,the paper seller from Blackburn, selling his "Last Pinks" at the bottom of St James St across from the deck. He wore a flat cap, a long rainmack buttoned down to his ankles, and pinned to his mack were his war medals. Rumour was he had nothing on under his mack. He was certainly a Accy personality in those days
