Astoness I used to live above shops in Shard End and we had a great flat roof over the shops, and yes we used to pour water over at night and in the morning you had a great slide, only problem looking back if you made your slide to good there was about a 30 foot drop to look forward to but when you was young you didn't think.


Shard End boy

I used to jump out of my bedroom window on to the front lawn.
The temptation is still there but it will have to wait until I retire.

People have been telling me to take a running jump for years.
Volty you have been practising retirement for forty years to my knowledge.

Practice makes perfect.

Of course it does.

Anyone remember toasting door step pieces of bread in front of the fire on those extending toasting forks then smothering it in dripping ,lovely grub.

Of course Jo, the only way to eat toast. It tasted different too I think.

Me and my wife still have dripping on toast on the rare occasion ,it's affording the beef today,and every body says it's bad for you,but were still here,enjoying it.

My dad fell into the fire and burned his knee doing the toast

Ouch I hope it wasn't serious

He was more careful after that

I bet he was careful about eating toast
