Things you don't see on Witton roundabout anymore

[recruitment-launderer]

I remember a newsagent/general store run by I think an Indian guy who was an Elvis enthusiast. He had the most amazing hair. He had a sign in the store saying, "Do not ask for credit as this will lead to a blue suede shoe up the bum!"

Porno mags in the newsagents

Random pages from porno mags showing women with very hairy lady parts stuck onto tree branches in the local woods.

Maybe not on Witton roundabout but in the woods down the road from where I grew up.

Damo, is that where that song comes from"if you go down to the woods tonight, your in for a big surprise"

There was nothing like that going on in the woods by me when I was a kid.

I can remember my amazement at being able to buy the 1984 Everton v Watford FA Cup final programme on the day of the game from the 'Lucky Star Candy Bar' on the Robin Hood island.

It was in the good old days when corner shops sold washing machines, motorbikes, parachutes and eight track cartridge players.
