Closing HMP Blundeston was a ( idiot ) Tory mistake ( after spending £10 million refurbishing it ! ! ) .... a LOT of folk lost their jobs , just to put up a few houses ( which could have been sited in a nearby field ? ) ... take a look at Hall road , Blundeston for some photos by Oliver Middleton ( 2016 ) ................ DAVE™🛑
Happy days. The South Pier, Cleopatras, The Tartan Bar, Pebbles. A brilliant beach, traditional Punch and Judy, a model railway, Trampolining. The fishing industry Eastern Coach Works Brooke Marine Richards A thiving Town Centre Sanyo Co-Op Cannery Jobs for all. Optimism.... A golden age
79/80 - 83 gotta be the height of the scooter scene. Best days of my life. On a GP195RT these days with a Scomadi TL250 as my back up ride (lucky to own No 6 of first 10 built by PM tuning). Can’t beat the 2 stroke sniff 😊
@@garykettless yes i see his wife often out & about , i alaways ask after him , a bloody good pool player him & his brother Mel used to drink in the bitch in the ditch , brothers totaly different , Dave the greasy biker , Mel was always dressed smartly .
I do enjoy watching your videos but I can't help thinking it's the video equivalent of a jumble sale. I don't mean it as a derogatory comment, just that it's hyperactive and rumbles on. You keep calling things, "gay". That's now not seen as acceptable in the UK as it's homophobic. Just a comment not a judgement. It's good to see your Suffolk accent still is strong, Caw'd to hell!
WDC didn't just destroy Lowestoft, they destroyed the whole district, shutting down Halesworth Swimming Pool, Beccles Swimming Pool (granted Beccles is run privately, and is a very good lido now) But I spent every day of my life at Halesworth pool when I was a kid, the worst bit about WDC closing it (and selling it) was....they didn't EVEN OWN IT, the TOWN DID! and the town BUILT IT!
brilliant video mate , the Boulevard was my second home , i was the lifeguard there for a summer season , i wasn't a Mod nor owned a scooter but knew everyone & everyone knew me , one great bunch of friends from different schools , different tastes in music , oh happy days thank you for uploading this .
Thanks, yes great times, i didnt hang out the boulevard that often, more hanging in the King Alfred pub back then. Happy days for sure. Episode 6 coming soon
I wish I’d had your foresight in 1970 when I was 16 riding my ‘69 SX200 everywhere to take lots of photos and keep all the crap I amassed, I do still have the original workshop manual from my scooter and a few receipts for work done from the shop I bought it but nothing like you have, well done you 👍😀
All classic and non classic vehicles welcome. Inc scooters. At the lincolnshire wolds railway just off the A16 louth road lincolnshire. 20th July 11 - 3 please share
Didn’t go to this one. My mate Tyrone though had his throat cut at Scarborough in I think 84 or 85. Ridden up from Thetford with the Breckland Buccaneers. Great video. Loved it ❤
Trying to find any old photos/footage of the road where I grew up in Lowestoft; Princes Walk. We moved there in 1985, did anyone have any family/friends who lived there before then?
When was it actually closed and demolished? Film is pretty scant on details. Born and raised here since 86 and I had literally never seen or heard of this building before stumbling across this video. Hard thing to google as you keep getting the arcade or the East Point Pavilion.
lots of great memories for you Gary. ive just got back into the Scooters after 40 odd years got the RA GP 125 feels really great to be back on 2 wheels again the secret to eternal youth, happy scootin from Edinburgh
😂😂 loving this. The days you were in Lowestoft I was in the Breckland Buccaneers in Thetford. Your stories and memories are a carbon copy of my times. What a laugh they were. I’m still into Lambrettas. Still go to rallies although not as many.and off to Germany on it in just over a week.
enjoyed watching your videos being just a few years older (63 on friday) i can relate to you and your mates as we did the same up here in Leeds and yes still scootering and still riding the Prambrettas (always pushing them according to the vespa boys and girls lol) and a PX and oddley enough a GTS 300 i hope the weather is treating you well as its SHITE here in Blighty it seems to have rained non stop but it will not stop us gonig to Skegness this weekend and to Kelso in Scotland later in the month.
