Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

I suspect that the erudite 'Palace Old Gezzer' was dressed to the nines,shoes polished to a shiny buff and cutting a magnificent dash.I would not have been able to compete with him.

Can't remember what I was wearing Willo old chap. But I did have my suits made to measure at that fine establishment, Montague Burton. And just for the avoidance of doubt my wife and I were 'going out' at the time.

'Montague Burton' a fine establishment indeed.I have an image of you slender as a gazelle with a shampoo-advert mane! Returning to the splendid photographs, I have delighted at seeing some of the old vehicles,some of which might have had starting handles and manual chokes.
