BRAZIER - I was racking my brains for that and failed miserably.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

I remember them huts. I was an apprentice for the council back in the sixties, but you only got one if you did not have a handcart. Because they had to be delivered by truck and only the top tradesmen got them and the ganger of course.

The hut on the previous page was posh ! This is how I remember them,( the cocky watchmen) and they were always really old men. Probably councils saving cash ! I used to worry about those old chaps, it seemed sad but I was only young, so probably not easy to grasp from your warm cosy bed at nights.

In the stands with his giant leek, "I woz there", my favourite tale of his was when Wales were playing France and he ordered L'escargot and chips (Snails). Yuk.

Does anyone remember or know of any photographs of a church/ place of worship towards the bottom of Carlton Road in Birkenhead. It was bombed in the war? I can remember playing on the bomb site in the 60s before the new houses were built.
