Just had an enjoyable half hour reading all these, didn't remember it being called the deck as such and didn't particularly hang out in the Blue Dahlia, however, remember all the other pubs, clubs mentioned in the early sixites.
Also remember the people above very well ... even Mick Pettifer (your husband Tybow) .. now he was a 'right' teddy boy
Jimmy Crow !! Well, what can you say .. a right Lothario if ever there was one. Seen me home a couple of ... had a mattress in the back of his van, living in hopes I suspect !!
Once 'snogged' me in the doorway of Catlows fruit and veg. place... took my face in his hands and declared "It was like a pomegranate ! (hmph, never had acne by the way!!). Each part is like a little seed that blossoms". Had many a laugh about this with me mates.
Used to see him later up Martholme Grange, again, not sure where he has finished up now.
Had to laugh at the remark earlier on re. women looking like women.
Even I used to go into Accrington on Saturday wearing curlers with head scarf on so that I could preen my curls into a Diane Dors hairstyle at night.
Can you imagine that now >>>>> goin' out in curlers. Aaaagh !!
