There's a memory! Wasn't it wayfinders though?

Had a black pair when I was at school. Never seen one wolf, fox,badger, deer or anything else that was worth tracking with one shoe on and one off the whole time I had them.

When you do successfully corner the bear the shoe will come in handy for chucking at it whilst you study the compass for the best direction to run.

I’ll just run in opposite direction from the bear no compass needed

The airport bus has central doors, number 100 and I've seen the 31 with central doors as well. There will be other routes using them too

Yes they were Wayfinders. Clark’s also did the “Clark’s Commandos’ and the Grand Prix. The Grand Prix shieshad tread on the sole like a tyre.

The number 16 often has them.

Possibly the 10 and 11 sometimes have them as well but I can't quite remember.

My partner hates them as they have little space for buggies and she doesn't know whether or not to shout thanks to the driver from halfway up the bus.

We used to play at that as kids. I’ve no idea how, but we did.

Space 1999 as well!!

Egg and milk chews
Spanish gold kids tobacco
sweetheart stout - much worse than pale ale
balaclava's in winter
Wembley plastic footballs that weighed half a stone
koolopop juice
carbolic soap like half bricks at the baths.

Remember Spanish Gold.....and sweetie cigarettes with the end coloured red so it looked like it was lit!!

Worth looking up Supersizers Go 70s on YouTube for more of this era’s delights with Giles Coren and Sue Perkins doing the time travelling.

Going to Mr Mills sweet shop and his ancient till.

Sarah's Sweet Shop and the bakery on the corner by the steps up to Wilfrid Terrace for a Jam doughnut and a chocolate man.

TransWorld Sport before Football Italia on a Saturday morning. The Pink News, The Belmonte Fry opposite the Piershill Squares, the Morrisons being a Safeway, the Safari Lounge having fake reeds in the window as if it was somehow exotic.

Playing football for hours and hours down the park in the holidays and reinacting the latest Serie A/Premiership goals (or so we thought..)

Going to the Lismore shops from Parsons Green and thinking that was absolutely daring and radge ��

In the early 90's, before the traffic calming measures were put in on the Willowbrae hill up to Parsy, we often slid all/most of the way down the hill on our jackets when the road's gutters were frozen and parked cars for far fewer than they are now.
