winkle picker shoes....

does anyone remember "little arrows" by leapy lea???????

a one hit wonder.....

Ah! Yes PM, Little arrows in your clothing
Little arrows in your hair, ect ect!

I think that one is on one of the CDs that Ive made from the net,
along with a few good classics

Remember the old vynil records, singles and E/Ps, Ive got a stack of them, but no recored player?
Smudger,

aye, i've still got many vynil records smudger.... singles and albums, a few 12inch singles... we have a turn table on the hi fi but it's rarely used at the mo.....

i too have that leapy lee on cd....

hope everyone is well.... s

leapy lea is living abroad now,works in clubs,and is married with twins,about four year old i think!!!he did a holiday show with nadia sawalha summer before last!!!!
i got rid of my record player too,so cant play the singles and lp's i hve either!!
stilleto heels were my favourites!!!

hi folks... after two days wrestling with this soddin' thing, i'm back in....
thanx to sal for her help last night...

i had a tune going around in my head last night, i knew wot it was and who by, but could i think wot programme it had been used for.... avenue's and alleyways by tony christie.... well sal to the rescue again... the persuaders... roger moore and tony curtis...
thanx again sal...

can you think of the tune for vander volk sheryl?once i get that into my head it takes days to get rid of it!!!!only too pleased to be of assistance!!!!

hiya sal...

yip, vander valk.... i know it does yer head in....
same with that one that terry wogan did... the name eludes me for the mo. but got the tune in me head now....

Hi Sal and Sheryl

Terry Wogan...was it the floral dance?

I have been quiet because I am totally lost with yip, vander valk,leapy lea ,and the most intriguing phrase of all winkle picker !

Ah! Abbi, I think it was a case of, "you had to be there"

As regards to tunes, it took me ages to track it down, but I got in the end, it was, the tune in the film "The Mission" the flute bit
it was called, "As it was in Heaven"
Smudger,

hi all it was the floral dance,and the brighouse and raistrick brass band did it too!!!!!
ABBI,winkle pickers were shoes with a really pointed toe..i got my first corn wearing them(as if anyone needs to know that))i was only 17,and i got a lot of sympathy.....""well.if you will wear shoes that squash your toes up like that""

evening all... s...
thanx for jogging my memory on the floral dance san and sal.... think terry did it with the brighouse lot didn't he....
sorry we confused you abbi luv...
yip really pinted shoes.... why did we do it.... and stillettoes where no better... just looked sexier i suppose....
these days it's flats or nowt eh...

Ah! yes, I remember wearing my winkle-pinkers along with my sky blue jeans, and of course the manditory white "T" shirt and blck leather jacket! with a quiff in my hair (when I had hair that is)

Oh! Happy days!! I wish they were back, but never happen Im afraid
Smudger,

"pinted" shoes... ... think i lost an "o" somewhere..... should have been "pointed"...

i remember the quiff smudger... wot about the D.A.....

what about stockings with seams???i used to think they looked good,unless the seam decided to move round the inside of your leg!!!!!

Do you remember those rubber platex girdles.my mother insisted i wear one after i had my first bab.oh it was awful,she reconed it would get my tum back to normal....it did'nt work

could never be bothered with stockings, there would always be one suspender that wouldn't do up....

rubber girdles..... sounds kinky doesn't it... deffinitely not tho' eh....
i'm lettin' it all flop about naturally...

just been listening to dickie valentine, mr. sandman...... wow it's even older than me... 1954 it was recorded....
