my uncle used to have an allotment up there

the last time I was in Sefton Park it was full of Rastas smoking weed, and the time before that I had a nasty incident being chatted up by an old gay bloke. I was only about 16

It's probably much nicer now the Palm House has been restored

[manicscousers]

maybe that's how they paid to do it up, the weed  ;D ;D

One of only six sites in the NGS book... but we are the biggest (Size does matter!)  ;D

I went to Sudley Road Infants School. I met a bloke on a train to Liverpool who had been there the night it burnt down

Elvis:  We must have just missed you, we popped in to see you but there was no-one there.  I will be up there tomorrow am (hopefully).  Sam x

Manics:  I will keep my eyes peeled.  My mum used to do that in her wheelchair.  She once cleared a whole section of the Trafford Centre using her walking stick.  I was mortified!!! ;D ;D

Rhubarb Thrasher:  I went to Sudley Infant School as well.  When were you there (if you dont mind giving your age away???).    I dont remember it burning down, when was that?

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

gonz - I was there up to (Ithink) about 1967. I was then going to the big school (down the hill toward the Prom, onto the main road, turn left toward Garston Village), but instead I ended up in a tiny village school with two rooms in Menheniot in Cornwall

The bloke I met on the train was circa 1980. He was a civilian entertainment chap on a warship, and his uncle was Eric Heffer MP

What I remember about Sudley Road were lots of corrugated iron painted green (or blue), the smell of furniture polish, and the horrible custard with prunes. My friend Negeeb (?) whose familly were from Egypt used to astonish us all by eating the prunes AND THE PRUNE STONES AS WELL. Didn't he know how DANGEROUS that was ??

[gonz]

Rhubarb Thrasher:  I was there about 1974.  My sister was there just after you.  Do you mean Sudley Junior School on Aigburth Road.  I went there too.  Dont remember the custard or the prunes!!!!! 
Did you live near to Aigburth Vale?

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

my grand-parents lived in Lugard Road, opposite the entrance to Sudley Road Infants. They still had their black-out curtains up from the War. I'm sure the school then was mostly Nissan Huts. We lived in Pitville Avenue, which is in Mossley Hill

Must have been Sudley Junior I was going to go to. I went there for an open day with my parents, but then we moved to Cornwall

[gonz]

Its a small world.  I lived in Aigburth Vale above the florist shop until about  10 years ago and then moved to by the Garden Festival (still in Aigburth though).
