And the lodge in early 70's, spot the difference!

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. David Osland 2025

and the roundabout missing, I remember that getting built.

I thought there was another building before the lodge that was burnt down, or perhaps it was just the modern building.

Never noticed the roundabout missing. I do remember there not being a roundabout there, no recollection of when it was built though. Wasn't that long ago, me being a whipper-snapper and all!

Bio:
Formed in 1985 in Birkenhead. Did loads of gigs, Peel sessions etc then stopped gigging and recording in 1992. Reformed for a one-off gig in 2005. After that we decided to do one gig a year. We will be going into the studio at the end of October this year and a new album will be out in time for Christmas

Bob,Bob,Bob,Bob and Bob?
I thought there were only four Bobs.
As in Bob,Bob,Bob and Bob not Bob,Bob,Bob,Bob and Bob.
The mind Bobbles.
Great name for a band though.

Our kid used to be the steward up there, had some good nights when home on leave, a good place for local groups if i remember rightly. He still talks of it with affection, I think he regretted it closing. I've still got a tape somewhere of one of the gigs in there, can't remember the name of the group but he used to do a spot in his act talking Russian.
