Hiya Chris.

Are you really from Hoxton? I spent many a happy evening in the Bass Clef when I lived not far off.

Enjoy your time here, it's a fun board.

I remember it from the 70s and 80s, I never felt unsafe walking around there at night though it wasn't as well lit as Oxford Street.

Did you move out far?

I thought it still was called gentrification Spot?

Welcome Chris, nice to meet you and your old china, or 'er indoors.

You've got Spot reminiscing about his favourite rub-a-dubs now! :wah:

Hope you have fun in the garden. :-6

thanks all for the welcomes,in reply to the matter of hoxton not being an unsafe place to venture heres a story from my childhood.when i was a young lad it was my job to fetch the coal in my small brothersd pram,now to get this i had to go threu the roughest part of hoxton,if the urchins heard the cash in my pocket they would have taken it from me(didnt call it mugging then)so i had to hide it in my mouth to stop it jingling,well they would shout abuse and ide mumble an answer,they new i was very hard of hearing too and used to shout,"THERES THE DEAF AND DUMB KID WITH HIS PRAM"!ide run like a greyhound to get home in one peice.another time they found a police officer dead ,he had been put into a drain hole upside down till he drowned!
