I am not quite so old as those kids but the photo brought back memories. Thanks for posting.

I know Hitler has had a bit of a bad press, what with the mass murders and stuff, but to give him his due, he made some wonderful playgrounds for kids after the war. A land mine was dropped on houses about 10 doors away from where I was born. We used to call it the park.

Still quite a few WW2 bombs kicking around in sarf Essix, never mind that boat full of stuff in the river

As long as he dies in the right position, still holding the aerial, then all is good.

Another 'moment' captured of Newcastle shipbuilding. This time 1961. I wish we still built them like this! (or built any at all)

'Empress Of Canada' - Ended her days in Greece, as the 'Apollon' and was laid up, and later sold for scrap, in 2003.

As the 'Mardi Gras' she was the very first ship in the Carnival Cruises' fleet. They've come a long way since this ship started things off for them in 1972. From 27,000 gross tonnes to their current largest ship at 133,000 gross tonnes, with a couple of 180,000 GT monsters in the pipeline.

I once had a plumbing system that occasionally sent boiling hot water into the toilet cistern, You could easily cook noodles in the bog.

Not sure whether you mean the poster's name or the bad grammar, or both.

Or built anything, the main support for the new Sunderland bridge was built in Belgium, from an area that was built on building massive steel structures to have to import it now from Belgium is a disgrace, I thought they only made chocolates.
