JOHN HABS Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi John, I also used to go to the Star on Saturday afternoons and remember the YoYo competitions, walking the dog etc. Weren't the seat edge gripping serials great? You always thought the hero would never survive until the next week, but there he was the next Saturday getting out of some impossible situation. Phew!!! Do you remember Tarzan? and the fabulous tricks he got up to? Hello Janber, Yes I do remember seeing Tarzan with his chimpanzee Cheeta - my mate use to look like cheeta........had ears like taxi doors. One of the best memories for me about going to the Star pictures was going to the sweet shop first near where I use to live to buy some sweets to take with me..............four blackjacks for 1d, barley sugar stick for 3d and a bag of sherbert cystals 3d. Whenever you went in the Star pictures it always smelt of Hotdogs. JOHN HABS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janber Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ji John Habs, Your poor old mate. Are you allowed to say that. bet you're glad you didn't have to sit behind him. I remember going into Hartleys across the road, (do you remember the Temperance Bar, had two doors) for a glass of Lemon Barley and the barley sugar sticks. He also use to sell tubes of Horlicks tablets and sticks of liquorice root, ( used to last for ages) yum. Bet you can't buy 4 Black Jacks for a penny these days. I think my corner shop sells them for 7p. each. Oh happy days. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
