I remember work, the smell of paraffin heaters and noisy generators.

As Sting says...I love my esso blue, iirc, the old Ads voiced by Derryck Guyler...bom bom bom bom
Not forgetting the Esso Blea Deuler

Jet fuel is basically just paraffin

was this when we played West Brom on a Sunday in front of (allegedly) about 52,000 people. Not sure how many they actually let in that day but I was in the paddock and had never been so crushed at Goodison. Felt like a lot more.

Indeed.

I am old simply because I was born a long time ago. However I am much younger than people half my age.

This was our first ever Sunday game ,if I remember because at that time you couldn't charge admission on a Sunday they got round it by charging the admission price through the programme.
If i remember rightly it was 0-0 and we lost the replay 1-0

Yes and it's where Baggies fans started singing "The Lords My Shepherd " because of playing on the sabbath which has been our signature tune ever since.

Just been reading an article in the Echo about Liverpool nightclubs of the 70s, 80s and 90s .

35 lost Liverpool nightclubs from the 70s, 80s and 90s

The venues were known for £1 drinks, “grab a granny” nights and chicken in a basket

www.liverpoolecho.co.uk

Amongst the clubs mentioned was Michelle Clair's, so named I seem to remember, after the owner's daughters. Had many a drunken night crazily dancing to Bowie, and various other eclectic sounds.
Right, time for my cocoa and a biccy, then off to bed. These Saturday nights are just one big blow out nowadays.

Lost Liverpool nightclub where 'nobody really cared'

It was known for its Bowie/New Wave nights, Punk nights. and live music
