mall world. Same car, same place, almost the same time. Mums Caprice, and Toyota, and the clock tower to freak out those who only know the modern Dubai

Spooky, will have to dig out more photos. I've got photos from the top of the Trade centre when it was the tallest building in Dubai with empty roads!!

Any chance of posting more in the Middle East section of the forum? There's a healthy PH community in Dubai these days!

I'm not sure but I think this picture was taken outside the Fujairah Hilton! Thats me in the red T-Shirt!!

Top photo was taken on a school trip to Dubai's fire station which was on the round about near Satwa.
Bottom photo was taken at the top of the Trade Centre, slightly different now!!

I'm sure this was taken again around 1980 outside Dubai Airport, either watching an air display or someone important flying in! Good old yank tank handy for my brothers to stand on.

I have done all 106 pages over the last 24hrs, whilst at work. This is without doubt the best topic on PH.

Err how do I get your job please?

I haven't been on this thread for a while, but having found a few old snaps ...(I'll post them up as I scan them)

Had 2 Alfa Guilietta saloons in the 80s, a 2.0 twin-cam and this red 1.6. We did a good few miles as a family in both. The 2.0 eventually rotted, but the 1.6 languished at the bottom of a friend's garden over the road, after a problem with the rear inboard discs. I got another car and lost interest.

It went to a Alfa enthusiast so could possibly still be around?

This is an interesting picture in may ways. This track is now either a main road or will be gated padlocked and welded shut. But the thing that interests me in the minimal luggage. When I think about all the cr*p we seem to have to take on holiday now.

The photo was taken by the bloke in the lorry which was following with the luggage

...following with the luggage...?

Surely one should be preceded by one's luggage.



Ones? One's? May the Saturday Apostrophe Battle commence.

Not likely, I've been in bother on another thread re apostrphes. You can stick them where ever you like for me.

You were correct. It is one's.

I think I've posted this before.

My first driving lesson, with Grandad, Summer of 1970.

Not convinced that I would recommend his tyre fitter.

You're forgiven; it's a smashing picture.

I can see it reproduced in black and white hanging in a slim black frame in the hall.

Here are some more of the old fella.

He worked as a miner down Edge Green Number 9 pit in Wigan.

In 1932 the pit was the scene of en explosion which cost the lives of 27 of the 105 miners who were working. The pit was sealed following the disaster.

He subsequently rented a small farm which he worked until the mid 1970s.

He pretty much chain smoked filterless Woodbines and died in his sleep at the age of 83.









And here he is all scrubbed up for Mum's wedding in 1963.

Picture taken in Austria on a camping holiday in late 1960’s; it’s me in black shirt and my younger brother in foreground.

[martin010161]

This one taken in Spain late 1980’s car is 1976 so not too far off!
