USA forces Hospital WW2

I can remember going for walks on the pathway between the Flixton(?) Golf Course and this hospital and seeing the local gals 'visiting' the 'Yanks', as we kids called them, through the fence. If we knew the girl in question it was an easy task to get 'gum' on the promise of not telling what we saw. We were rotten kids in those days, but why not, we got bombed for years during the Second World War because of the proximity of Trafford Park.

Barrets Butchers

I used to work at Barrets butchers in about 1982 with my mate Pete Bennett (r.i.p.). A blonde girl called Sharon used to come past everyday on her rollerblades - fond memories.
