In reply to: Danny Windever 's message, "I come from Speke" on 01:21:33 05/25/07 Fri

May I please share some of my (now vague!) memories of Speke with everybody.I was born in 108 Linner Road,in 1958,my dad working at Dunlops at the time. The midwife had to clean the bits of car tyre off the bed before I made my appearance into the world!. Apparently the midwife should have been Paul Mcartney's mum ? but she was not on call at the time. Moved to 86 Lovel Road later on and moved to Runcorn in 1973. Memories include many hours spent down Oglet Lane,running to see the Viscount tail sticking out of Mothaks roof,mobile sweet van a blue Austin I think.Also spending every school holiday on the airport viewing balcony with my butties and radio listening to the pilots on approach.I wish I had had a camera at the time.Airshow at the airport when we went up in a BAC-111 FOR A £1! Went to Stocktonwood and then Speke comp.Remember it being very cold with my shorts on,but I did have a balaclava! Dad then went on the buses and I had many many trips with him back and to the Pierhead on the 82c. Now living in sunny North Wales.Will try to remember some more and some names soon.Regards,Don.
