Nostalgia

[He’stheleftbackremember]

Going to Rhyl on holiday, absolutely shite, rained every single day and my Dad was too tight to pay for the Sun Centre even though it was a tropical paradise.

Long for the days when people walked down the road without chatting away with their head focused on a piece of plastic, I never remember running from phone box to phone box.

Are you Misty's son ?

Maybe your poor Dad couldn't afford it, lets not be too critical.

I’d forgotten about those bikes, Renthals, double headstock, straightened forks, a speedway disc on the back wheel, reinforced/flanged wheels, and wasn’t the small/fixed cog so people could do wheelies better ?

The less said about “Bogey’s” the better for me, when I look back probably one of the most shameful periods of my life, I mean, it wasn’t right that Mams left their prams outside shops to come back and find them on bricks, with wheels missing, just so we could have a “top bogey” right ?

It was pretty expensive for most families who had to endure, sorry “holiday” in Rhyl tbf mate.

That was definitely the case for us Bill.
