Yep - and yoofs riding their sports mopeds 3 abreast while trying to hold a conversation, dog-eared L plates flapping in the breeze

I DESPAIR AT THE STATE OF THE YOOFS TODAY. THEY SHOULD ALL BE SHOT!

I remember the window cleaner coming down the street on his BSA sidecar outfit with the "Tradesmans" box on the side with the ladder tied on top.Probably an M21 or similar,thud,thud,thud.

Don’t know if I’ve ever posted this before but as a kid we lived in a Victorian terrace with long back garden. Our neighbour was a little Yorkshire man, WW2 despatch rider who had had one leg amputated having been shot in the foot when he was so cold, he never noticed till he finished the ride some hours later. Anyway, every morning he went to work on a Panther with a huge double adult sidecar attached. It always seemed to start first prod and the thump thump of it ticking over was right below my bedroom window. What I’ve never been able to work out is how he got it up and down the cinder path to the back gate obviously as a child, such things didn’t bother me. Happy days and very times.
