My Dad used to walk in, after the Working Man's Club, just as Mam took the Yorkshire pud out of the oven.

I was in the Arundel WMC one Sunday lunch time ,  A prominent Arbourthorne character and rummered hard case was sat on front row when !!!!!!!!!! In strode his Mrs , walked the full length  of concert room , Plonked his dinner down in middle of table , Casually placed knife and fork each side of dinner plate ,  And with full Arbourthorne lady talk ,  " Thi dinner hope tha enjoys it "

It was taken off for the reason St Peter said but it was more in the 1980s when the PC brigade took over rather than in 1966 .

Old post, but Cadbury were still doing the 'nutcase' ads in the mid 90s.  They changed the song a bit, but 'everyone's a fruit and nutcase' was still the headliner lyric.  I reckon Cadbury just moved on to something else after going on thirty years or so.

We used to pinch empty bottles from the back yard at the New Inn  Gleadless Common  then take em back to the off sales at the Punch Bowl  , we got a penny for every returned bottle . 

Gangsters in the making we were .

Us, an all, Cuttsie,

 

We used to hop over the wall to Dobbie's scrap yard on Gleadless Road at night and load up a barra full.

 

Sell it back to him a day or two later.

 

We'd never make good politicians, Cuttsie, we used to steal the old fashioned way.

 

Illegally!
