Buttlers' Belly Bashers, 1963

Yes, that's the name we gave them later on in our youth. No one did fish and chips like Mr Buttler and his wife, only costing a few pence to my knowledge. We used to put loads of salt and vinigar on. Then this loud voice would say 'That's enough lads, off you go' . Buttlers even became a hang-out place for our gang once over. When I look back I think it was his fish and chips why we hung out there. My wife even became a lover of his fish and chips in our courting days. Yes, it was a sad day when he retired, end of another era (long live my thoughts of Buttlers' belly bashers). For those who don't know where Buttlers was, it was down by Shelf roundabout, they have built flats there now.
