Didn't know it stretched that far south! I know there's a Laver caravan site at Ingoldmells but I thought that was as far as it spread!
Where‘s all the traffic?Two shots from the same place but slightly different angles. April 1985, from the footbridge over Eyre Street, which led down Earl St to the Lord Nelson pub.

Thanks.

Why would one play in tights AND black lace sussies. Is this some sort of deviancy? Na, if ya said sheer black nylons AND black lace sussie it makes sense cos with tights and sussies the sussies have nowt too do they can trip one up and we all know one can't play football on yer arse.
When I wer a lad, sports shorts were called 'knickers', possibly because they had elasticated waist bands, I really don't know.Radio Stoke’s main football commentator for almost 50 years (2000 plus games!), Nigel Johnson, has a few trade mark expressions “heads go up” “inside right channel” being two that come to mind. When describing the kit, he always refers to shirts, shorts and “stockings”, so they would fit in with the sussies you mention.
As an irrelevant aside, commentating wasn’t even Johnson’s main job, he was a primary school teacher and eventually head teacher, a busy man. Additional aside, Roger Johnson who does BBC North West and occasional BBC Breakfast is his son.

Possibly a contraction of knickerbockers, like the New York Knicks.When I wer a lad, sports shorts were called 'knickers', possibly because they had elasticated waist bands, I really don't know.

ECL and I were discussing footballer's nether region cover and had arrived at knickers.If those are shorts then I'm Donald Trump.
That's a beaut.
