Had an evening paper round for Chevins of the Woodbourne Ave. shop parade. Mostly Evening Argus (as it was called then), Evening Standard and Evening Star. Consisted of Highfield Cres., Wilmington Way. The no. 19 bus terminated at the top of Wilmington so the driver and conductor used to read...

Oh...I had a bit of a crush on her too. I used to attend the 60's Weekends at Butlins, first at Barry Island and later at Bognor Regis in the mid 80's. She was performing at the '87 show at Bognor and I'm sure she smiled at me. Anyway that's what my inner self still thinks after all these years.

20 years for me too....last August 23 to be precise. Living in Spain and rarely returning to the UK it means so much to me, not only for the Albion and all my past wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) times. I rarely miss a game these days, DAZN is so good, and we're lucky to have it...
An excellent read and thank you for posting. Bought back lots of happy memories of my youth. A couple of venues missed though, the original Hove Town Hall in Church Road where I (and strangely and unbeknown) I was amongst the audience with a girl who later became Mrs BS to watch the Rolling...

I've no need for an amnesty :) . In fact I voted him player of the season for the past 2 years, however I'm glad he didn't win or else he would have gone...(to Chelsea😂).
