Oh how I'd love to be looking forward to a Swinton derby tomorrow. Progress isn't always for the better. No, it isn't, but just like with memory lane, fraught with minefields. And I think the Lions would agree too. I wouldn't mind a real Derby match snow or not, but I've never forgotten the frozen feet though. |

You could always tell it was winter when Lucette fetched the horse chestnuts. |

I remember my Nan buying me a bag of hot potatoes with salt on them when the weather turned cold "It were just after the war ..."
Armisted's? I hope that's how they spelt it! |

Armisted's? I hope that's how they spelt it! On Taton st. Their meat and potato pies were great. But not as good as the Don supper bar on Eccles New Rd. |

We're there Two Dons or Two Custard Sponges ??
If it was two Dons just goes to show that The Gang culture in Salford has been here for a long long time
Anybody ever read about the great horse manure wars around Broughton of 1837? And the Notorious Irlam V Monton home coal delivery terriority dispute from 1897 to 1901 ??
If you haven't it probably meant the two Don Takeaways.

We're there Two Custard Sponges ?? Yes the one we could afford and the posher one with stuff on top. Speaking of which a bag of broken biscuits = Lewis's I think from ... when we'd hide on the stairs from't thunder cos me Nan was scared but we had to make out we were too. I'm sure she hid all the knives and forks as well and she'd say things like "Ger to Buxton!" if we mentioned leaving't stairs before it were over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOWJECdobqk |
