What takes you back ?

[Toodles McGinty]

Old fashioned polish on wood floors.

Takes me straight back to junior school.

[Alikado]

Cooked onions and Westlers burgers at a travelling fair

Those burgers were disgusting, if there was any meat in them God only knows what sort of creature it originated from.

Bring back the Wimpy Burger.

Used to love the mixed grill from the Wimpy on Lord Street, complete with curly sausage etc.

Whenever I go down Houghton Street, I always remember Moors Market. As a very small child, my Mum used to take me in there when she bought her fruit and veg. I can still picture the wonderful colours of all the displays.

In the 40s, after enduring the bus ride from Ainsdale my mum would march my sister and I to the Market Hall. Here she would check all the prices then march us up to Moors Market. If we were in luck, the prices would be cheaper at Moors. If not we'd gallop back to the Market Hall to buy our vegetables. Quite an adventure...........Happy Days!!

Music - A piece of music, may remind of where I first heard it.

Locations - Revisiting a location, sometimes reminds of who I was with/encountered there, years before.

Food - A certain dish, can bring back memories of where I was and who I was with, when I first had it.

You forgot Hobbies - How you used to terrorise pedestrians on your 3 wheeler tricycle. I mean every cyclist has to start learning these skills somewhere

Every so often I get the smell of a certain paint and it takes back to day my dad brought his brand new Bedford CA home from Southport Engineering in King Street. (Iceland now). It would have been 1959 and the reg. was TFY 504.

If memory serves me correctly, the letters FY were part of vehicle registration numbers of vehicles registered to or in Southport at the time, and were seen on corporation buses etc in those days ?

Yes that's right. There was FY and also WM.

Calamine Lotion when my brother had chicken pox.

I like the smell until I decided to sip it.
I cannot decide which horrified me the most the taste or my mother's scream when she realised what I had done.
