( Mark Whip, Craig Trenor, Alan Chadwick(Alan was the "rich kid" with all the latest figures.......  ) ) then when it stopped raining we'd have races from the top of Elizabeth Street to the lamp post outside my house.

Save up these 'silly bits of trivia' and tell them to your children.
It is amazing how quickly life changes. I look back on the writings about my childhood(in my blogs) and I could be talking about Dickensian times.
My daughters two children find it really amusing. One of them asked if I had ever seen Queen Victoria in real life - and there was me, thinking I was well preserved.
