Malc H Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 yes we lived on ripon street just round the corner there was also a shop across the road on the opposite corner called Newboulds I think. I used to go in there with my mates, they distracted him and I took a couple of those empty tall pasteurised milk bottles with a penny back on the bottle then go back later to return the bottles and get the tuppence back. The old man caught me at it one day and gave me a right clip and bared me from the shop but me mam went round and had a go at him for hitting me...... ---------- Post added 29-03-2013 at 17:08 ---------- does anyone remember the wet fish shop just along Woodbourne road from that corner shop, owned by people called Boldocks, they had racing greyhounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
