When you would rather play Scrabble with a brew than have sex and champagne.

When you reference a place of commerce by the name of the pub it used to be.

Slatterys in Whitefield will always be called the Masons.

Exactly that to me as well. I think of Slatterys as a baker shop near Crumpsall hospital.

You see loads of names in bumped threads & realise that some haven't posted for years.

When you thought Colin Bell was a man and you were a kid only to find out now he's only 4 years older than you...

Colin Bells not a man? He's a woman 4 yrs older than you? Who knew.

How does a brew play scrabble then?

Or Volmax!

Volmax was on Great Ancoats Street near the Rochdale Canal .
I can also remember the trolley buses running along Great Ancoats Street in the mid 1960s when I was a kid.

Exactly that to me as well. I think of Slatterys as a baker shop near Crumpsall hospital.

My Dad was a milkman on Higher Crumpsall back in the 60s, and me and my younger brother used to help him at weekends.
We used to call in at Slatterys for a meat and potato pie when we had finished delivering milk at lunchtime . Lovely consumed with a "spoilt" pint of milk from what was leftover on the milk float.
