I remember that, the red circles lasted forever. 😆. The buses often blobbed, back in the day. 😊

I'm so chuffed that you loved Bradford, Eh? And it took you down memory lane. My nana was a great cook just like your Grandma. I loved St Matthew's grub, I always went up for seconds - Apple crumble. Jam and coconut sponge. Sometimes we'd wait an hour but the 🚌 kept running, even in the snow.⛄️ 😊

Cream soda, pineappleade, Dandelion, and burdock, and shandy, which as a kid you thought was taboo, and that you were drinking beer. 🤣

My Mum used to go to the Lyceum and the Talk of Yorkshire club, I remember Michael Davitts club. 😊

I loved the pop man. Dandelion and burdock was one of my favourites, along with cream soda. 🙂

📚 Swapped a copy of Bradford, Eh? With Fantastic Mr Fox.
One’s full of nostalgia, old nights out, and finishes with City (the Bantams).
The other one is a brilliant tale about a fox pinching chickens.
Turns out, they’re both full of Bantams.

Back in the day, we’d all get the same £3 short back and sides at Marios, no fuss, just how it was. ✂️
Bradford, Eh? is a nostalgic look back at the 70s, 80s & 90s, real memories from people who lived it.
True stories. Local lives. Bradford, as it was.

St George’s Hall, Bradford, one of the many places in Bradford, Eh?
The book’s full of stories from the ’70s–’90s. The stuff that stuck.
Foreword by Tasmin Archer — her new album A Cauldron of Random Notes is brilliant and out now. Buy it here:
