Ok we were poor had no money, 27 of us lived in a two up two down, I used to have to wait for me Dad to come in from pit before I could go to Wigan as we shared a pair of boots, used to set off Wednesday teatime and walk to Wigan to get there in time for Saturday Nighter, it were grand then everything was although very grey and dark somehow E by gum the best days of me life, 96 Black Bombers danced all night and walked home a lot bloody quicker than the journey there and you try telling young people today and they won't believe you lol

All I want for Christmas is three points tonight at White Heart Lane lol

Get that silly hat off this thread Simsy lol

Dave that period early/mid 80's through the 90's was the most productive period for me and many others certainly from a DJ perspective but I never considered it the wilderness years it was simply how the scene was and bloody good it was too, even the great and the good of the scene deep down know when the best periods of the scene were musically.

Curtis Mayfield on Top Of The Pops Two Christmas special singing Move On Up with these really bad dancers mustard,

PM sent mate. Mark

I thought it was very good, one or two interesting comments by the likes of Richard Searling etc. the scene is what it is has become what it's become and if we still all get something out of it musically or as a social scene then good for us I say. Mark Bicknell.

Nothing against Mr Waterman seems a decent enough bloke but it's all this E By Gum, whippets, flat cap there's trouble at mill bollocks that makes me chuckle, more the case of wheel out a celeb to give it cred which has always been the case, he may have rubbed shoulders with the music good on him and he may have a passion for it but this almost tounge in cheek dancing miners it's rough up North ethic is not really needed is it? Elaine was great. Mark Bicknell

Perhaps all sellers should state that a full refund will be given if buyers are not happy with records on all sales posts then this will avoid any future problems on refunds for bad or dodgy condition records. Mark
