Salford Childhood Memories
A Memory of Salford.
When flower power came, it hit Salford Cross Lane market with a vengence. Every stall had cow bells with plastic flowers on, so not to be left out, I got one. I ended up getting in a massive row with my dad - he thought I was turning. But worse still, when I went out and met my mates, they all looked at me very strange, and they really had a go too. Luckily it didn't last long, it soon fell to bits, but it was still a standing joke for ages afterwards with my mates. Around that time I took up fishing; we all did, we used to go to Drinkwater Park and the River Weaver on the train. They were good days. I used to go with a lad called Jack, he knew all the private ponds. We had to climb over walls and fences and many a time we would get caught, but jack had the gift of the gab and we never got in trouble.
