maurice, do you remember my father wally wallis he told me you took 3 mates to windsor not long after passing you car test. paul wallis
Until 1960 our family lived on the High Street, above the newspaper offices, where my father worked. I have a lasting memory of walking down the High Street with my mother and little brother, when a tramp came out of a cafe with a large brown paper bag. He took a bread roll out of the bag and bit into it. It must not have been to his liking as he kicked the bag and rolls high into the air, scattering them all over the pavement!
My grandpa used to deliver books by bicycle from Burnham to the Old Cottage, Wrexham, before the First World War. He ran a booksearch agency.
1958 was the year I passed my motorcycle test and became a boy messenger, or telegram boy, working out of the the GPO head office in the high street, riding the iconic red BSA Bantam motorbikes. It was good at the time, and the experience only gets better with the passing of the years. Golden days.
