Good Times
A Memory of Reading.
Anyone remember Rag Day in Reading? It was the one day of the year when the students of the university used to decorate lorries, in a certain theme and used to go through the streets with music blaring, throwing bags of flour at us kids. I remember getting hit by one, only small bags but it was fun. Also I remember elephants all walking in a line holding on to each other tails, the fleet of lorries used to come up Watlington St. and along the London Rd. I used to stand and watch opposite the Berkshire Hospital - I wonder if they still do it? Also I remember going to the Oxford Road ballroom on a Saturday night jiving the night away and walking home barefooted. Anyone remember the Cellar Club in Duke St? I used to go there most evenings.
