There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho

Maybe they didn't overdo how grim things were in the late 50s...

I had a sound clip on my PC years ago - it was the last few minutes of an episode of Thinking Allowed on Radio 4. It was an extract from a film called Morning in the Streets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_in_the_Streets

I haven't been able to find it for ages until just now, on an old hard drive smiley - biggrin So I did a little YouTube search, and it's there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ_1ImIQ0Is The sound clip I have is the story about the budgie that comes in at around 25m 20s. Dear Bob, that woman reminds me of a few of my aunts, and she'd have been about the same age.

I guess it's supposed to be all about Liverpool, and I can see the tower of the Anglican cathedral in some shots, but a lot of those accents aren't Scouse, and the woman lighting the range and talking about someone going off to war mentions Tommy Ducks, a famous (and demolished) pub in Manchester.

It brought back an awful lot of memories of early 60s Liverpool for me though smiley - bigeyes
