The Oldies Thread

[peteblue]

Went to Anfield Comp in the late 1960's.

Had one chucked at me, beaten with a cane and slipper, had ear pulled, and verbally denigrated.

Went to SFX in Woolton, Jesuits, they used to throw the window opener pole. The blackboard was wiped with a cloth like a tea towel , then they’d beat it against your head, leaving all the chalk dust on your face and head, particularly bad just after the swimming lesson……

Had a couple of mates who went to SFX, they used to tell me the Horror stories.

We had a teacher who used a cricket bat - he’d chalk it first before “administering” the punishment! Victims would walk round school for the rest of the day with a cricket bat shaped chalk mark right across their backside !

….played there in County Schoolboys trial in about 1972/73 and turned my ankle over quite badly. Swelled like a balloon and a priest walked me back to the dressing room, still remember that.

I feel for you @Eggs (about the priest, not your ankle).

We’ve just reintroduced Mild as a guest beer made locally…£4.20…selling well……

Now there’s a name you don’t see or hear about anymore, Mackeson….

What's the mild ? Should be seen more, and ditch the ubiquitous overtly hoppy crap.

Serious question. Is your mild dark or light?

In Liverpool it is always dark. I spend time in Manchester and it is sometimes very light.

Each to their own but if you said to me do you want a bottle/can? I'd say 'Yes but you're not going to present cider are you? Anything else I'm in.'
