When I was nought but a lad I was sent to Stubb's barbers on Old Chester Road in Tranmere, he used to put a little plank across the arms of the chair for little ones to sit on, when he had finished he used to run a lighted taper across the back of your neck to burn off all the little hairs and I can still remember the smell today. Happy days.

Afghan coats from the 1970's. They should have continued to make them instead of growing poppies.

Ha ha, Longnails. It's a bit of fun isn't it ? What can you remember that we don't ? There must be absolutely loads.
