It was usually where I was stood up.

Great picture! Is that the brass weights for the weighing machine man I can see on the left?

I recall seeing him around there as a young kid before the coin-op machines did him out of a job.

Wasn't Big Ada summat to do with the weighing machins?

Think it is the 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in November 1955. If so, then Hodgy was the keeper. Howard Johnson the Blade on the right and the other Blade is Cliff Mason. Roy Bentley (who scored the goal) is the Chelsea player in the middle

They won the league in the previous season. John Harris was still at the club and if you open the link it will state he didnt play in that match. He was 38 at the time and a few months later he moved to Chester to be their player manager

Thanks for that Silent. See we were missing penalties even then.

Funny you should say that, it was the place where Bert was stood up for the first and last time in his life!

Incredible knowledge you've got, Silent.

Incredible knowledge you've got, Silent.

I love looking for clues in the photos and trying to work out which match it was

Never had Bert down as a quitter.

Now you mention it, it might have been a woman I'm not who it was though. You mean the old lass who sold veg from a stall on Dixon Lane? Anybody?

 

[Bert]

Never had Bert down as a quitter.

Bert didn't quit, he got his act together and made sure it never happened again.

The "Invincibles"

The "Invincibles"

I know two people (now no longer living) who saw Bradman in that match through a hole in one of the gates as the ground was really full when the maestro was batting

 

[Lane Ender]

It was usually where I was stood up.

Fish tank was a bad place to meet for a first date.
I used to arrange the first date outside the Blue Bell on the High St then you could see what she looked like from across the road.
Couldnt remember much after Fri/Sat night used to get a bit hazy.
Alcohol consumption!

Did Bert lower his standards, only dating ugly ones so as to not get stood up?

And if she was really rough (or you couldn't remember) the 'meat rack' outside the Penny Black:

No, he stopped using Hai Karate aftershave and switched to Brut.

That looks like ged booth holding that flag up giving it the thumbs up,once of Hyde Park and Cromford Street?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Most of us did it the other way around Bert.

What about the kiosk in Pond St coming into town on the 42/53 bus you would pass it if she was rough get off top of Flat St and carry on up town.

Ah the great smell of Brut!
Splash it on all over yer

Am I the only one on here who ever took out a less than striking lady then? All you had to do was make sure you didn't bump into your mates who would invariably all start barking.

(Always drew the line at fat birds though, even at 1.55am, some things are sacrosanct drunk or not)
