He says that there was a shop around the top of the street where the Hippodrome was and on the way home he used to get a bowl of mushy peas and vinegar that he considered was a delicacy – but at that time of the night and after consuming more than his fair share of liquid refreshment in the previous hours I would think anything would taste like a delicacy.
By the way, we won’t even talk about underage drinking…..

The pie shop was on Blackburn Rd at the top of Albion St. also one of my haunts. Wells was their name. Dotti, I bet he used to buy the"War Cry" in the little lad's pub at the bottom of School St., The Horse Shoe. Never forgotten the licensee's name, Walt.
