All my mates would go down the miley while i was left kicking my heals at the top. Being fat I was too much of a scardie cat to go down because i was fat. One day i decided i`d ad enough of being left at the top. I lost my footing and went down that banking rolling at top speed banging my head at the bottom. Dave Taylor thought i`d killed mi sen. Gave im quite a scare.
Gave mi ed quite a bump too.
Thats why i must av married at sixteen woz that bang on the ed that did it.
Wouldn`t swap im though.
Ah, bless.  :-* :-*

He's one for you Cazzer.
I remember when we had to wear those awfull libertybodises in the winter.
Goose grease and brown paper when we had a cold. Stunk to high heven it did.
Onions under my bed to keep the cold away.
Not forgetting dried milk and orange juice every week from the clinic.

Caz · 04-09-2003, 18:00

Ah yes, the good old liberty bodice. A sleeveless thing with buttons down the front. the vest went underneath.
Always had to wear an underskirt too.
Standing in front of a sun lamp every Sunday, cos it was supposed to be good for you!
Head checked for nits weekly too.
Cod liver oil every day. Yuk

Remember the double ended feeding bottles!

ANNE · 04-09-2003, 20:05

Double ending feeding bottles now your going back some Cazzer. Didn't av no sun lamp. Remember nitty Nora the head bug explorer very well. I to was made to wear underskirts. No sun lamp. But remember havin a bath in front of fire in old tine bath on a Friday night.
It was codliver oil that made me fat. Used to drink it by the bottle full apparantly. ugh! the thought makes me sick. Vile stuff.

I too can remember when there were no trees on the coppice, but I can remember the entrance to the bowling greens, playing hide and seek, I hid behind a bush there and sat next to a toad, a big toad, a very very big toad. It put me of frogs for life, I will never forget it.

ANNE · 11-09-2003, 23:15

ANNE · 13-09-2003, 17:45

The old Miley Tunnel in Preston has been a non working line for many years, but it's supposed to be Haunted by a ghost train at mid-night.
