Magic Twisty Wigglee Magic Worm - Putfile.com

Though in the U.K. I think it was marketed as Mr. Squirbles, or something similar.

The UCP Tripe shop on Blackburn Road
The New Era (when it first opened) and the dances
Holidays with the Youth Club (Austria)
Mods driving up and down Blackburn Road outside the Market hall
Sitting and listening to Radio Luxemburg on the bench at the bottom of Barnfield Street

Just looking through an old magazine.Back to 1966. I was 18 at the time. No 1,record, Four Tops, Reach out, I'll be there. No 2, Stop, stop, stop. The Hollies. The Hollies walk out of a Ready, Steady, Go telerecording session after discovering that the Dave Clark Five are to top the bill. Alma Cogan dies from cancer. John Maus of the Walker Brothers describes Scott as moody, irresponsible and a pain in the neck. Denny Lane, leaves the Moody Blues. Mick Jagger arrives at a Pink Floyd Concert, with new girlfriend Marianne Faithfull,though he's supposedly living with Crissie Shrimpton,( some things never change ). Movies of that year, Bonnie & Clyde, Georgy Girl . same Year , Aberfan Disaster, and lastly. Johnny Kidd dies in a car crash. Hard to believe it was all over 40 yrs ago.

There were TWO Queens bingo halls - Church and Accrington - the Accrington one still operates (was owned by Skinner) - I was a regular at both until I overcame the addiction :D
