I think Park Drive cigs are still about, or they were when I worked in a newsagent about 3-4 years ago.

The reason I remember them so fondly was because I was supervising a trainee cashier once and I got called over due to some confusion.

A man had gone up and asked her for 20 Park Drive. The cashier thought that he'd come to settle his newspaper bill and that 20 Park Drive was his address. She was frantically searching the system for this non-existent Park Drive address for a good 10 minutes whilst the customer stood and wondered why she was taking so long.

Dog catchers and packs of shagging dogs. There used be a pack of 'em in Darnhill (Heywood), that used to roam, rape and pillage. Think they had protection rackets and illegal bookmakers on the go. I remember on a number of occaisions my Mother covering my eyes from these orgy loving mongrels.

Not see, but....airports don't smell the same anymore.

Used to be that you'd get out of the car at Ringway or wherever and smell the aircraft fuel from a mile off, I loved that smell.

Do they use different fuel now, as I barely smell it anymore?
