At the Pier Head one match day in the 60s,double decker used to pick up and take us to GP,this day it filled up and the conductor was placing the strap across the platform and a little fella asked him how long would the next one be?
he replied about 22ft and everyone laughed,and the little fella said "oh aye, and
will it have a shthouse on it like this one".
When I was about 10 (1946) I was on a tram going home. It got to the junction of East Lancs Rd and Townsend Avenue where the tramlines parted. We were going straight on, so the driver got out with his crowbar to change the points. He was obviously having problems as we were waiting for quite some time. All of a sudden there was an almighty 'clang' as he dropped the crowbar. A little old lady, on her own, said to no one in particular 'his eye's fell out'. I laughed the whole week-end whenever I thought of it.lol
