Ya clayton the favorite dance in those was the Quaker, twice round the dance floor then outside for your oats
Na its nowhere near being Willy claytonx, I've known him for forty years, he now lives in St Annes, used to drink with him every night in the Stop and Rest Ossy, think there must be a photo of Willy somewhere on here
I'd agree, Jay, and I knew Willie back in the day, as he was a good mate of me dad's. Stood there supping shorts with him and the old feller many a time in the deep end at the Stop!
Ya Wyn the deep end at the Stop has a lot to answer for, I can tell you, wish I had all the money I spent yon, I'd have a small fortune nowI'd agree, Jay, and I knew Willie back in the day, as he was a good mate of me dad's.

Does anyone remember "Geordy,the paper seller from Blackburn, selling his "Last Pinks" at the bottom of St James St across from the deck. He wore a flat cap, a long rainmack buttoned down to his ankles, and pinned to his mack were his war medals. Rumour was he had nothing on under his mack. He was certainly a Accy personality in those days

I can remember two of them selling papers .
Geordy was a short , stocky man , and I think the Sid you refer to was a thin , wiry man .
If I remember rightly , one stood at the corner of St James St and the other nearer Church St .
Yeh Sids pitch was in Redmans doorway bottom of St James St.yer correct sid was wiry or even slippery if yeh gave him brass.
mmm... as I recall he always had a runny nose in cold weather...the original slippery Sid...yeuk !!!
Yep snotty candles sid, we used to say Simmy from clayton was his son.
Didn't go down very well wi simmy.Seem to recall they had a Sally Army place up St James Street,just past the baths.?
