When we were kids....

Where was that. I don't remember any outdoor baths. We used to go to Broadway and Chadderton.
When Abraham Moss leisure center first opened we would go there.

We (Winsford, Mid/Cheshire) had our own mate and what a brilliant time as kids and teenagers we had there.Even now people still talk about the place and what we used to get up to in the late 1950s - 1970s.Place has long been shut, but you can`t erase the memories Barcon.I honestly remember my Mum and Dad my best mate and his Mum and Dad taking us to an outdoor baths right by Ringway Airport way back in either the very late 1950`s or early 1960`s.

Sounds like a blast Oakie. I only ever went in one outdoor pool and that was at Blackpool.
Moved here in 1978 and spent every min.. of the summer at the outdoor pool.

I convinced one of my mates that if he pissed on a piece of string and put it in his ear while standing on Ashton Moss near the radio masts he'd hear Piccadilly 261 but only if he cut it to the right length.

Don't know how I kept a straight face as he kept snipping little bits off it while shoving it in his ear.

I was part of a gang, but being the youngest, I was naive and easily influenced. We once robbed the local ice cream factory and sat on the hill opposite the train line. When we'd finished feasting on the teddy bear, vimto and cider lollies, screwballs and ice creams, a train full of Leeds fans got pelted with what we had left.

Going swimming in the council pool and coming out with your eyes stinging. Everyone used to think it was the chlorine but it was all the piss in the pool.

Throwing pennies against the wall, nearest keeper, for the life of me can't remember what it was called

Edit just read a few posts up, simple pleasures, including green flash too, must be similar age.
