A little seaside coastal resort heaving with holidaymakers, caravan sites full to bursting, pubs with music filling the high street, amusement arcades and the constant clanking of pennies and pinballs.
Frolicing at the outdoor council swimming pool in the hazy summer of '76 (now sadly cemented over, and built upon). You should have seen the ladybird invasion of that that summer samwire.
Donkeys and sandcastles on the beach.
A thronging market and the constant aroma of frying fish and chips.
T'was a different world, halcyon days indeed, never to return. Pass the hankie mate.
cheap foreign travel.
TotalRl.com - Home of Stupid Questions, Friday Pix and of course Millward is a Gurner.

are you fair haired, good looking, intelligent and about 40 with the hint of a Norfolk accent, by any chance ?
I expect a cheap holiday in Croatia at least !
I'm no turkey plucker.
Just found a picture of my old pool, long since gone. Spent all my time there in the 70's. Couldn't afford a pass but we used to scale the 6ft wall (very high when you're only eight) out the back.
Wonder if Coddy ever gave it a go on his ventures to Wiv?

was the wall to keep people out or to stop them escaping ?

I've pissed in there may a time mate. I was also a regular a Trailer Park on a weekend, usually to be found legless in Neptune Club or puking outside the chippie.
