    I remember the ‘Threp-ni bit’ in the bus station my mum bought me some spangles from there when I was really small – It must have been around 1968/69 as it was before I started school in Sept ’69. I always remember it as she bought me some white knee length boots as I liked the ones that the girls wore on TOTP!! ha ha

    I remember how friendly and hopefull people used to be back then. Before things went all politically correct, and health and safety  aware.

    After the football match at Oakwell, there were a line of Traccy buses that ran the length of Grove Street. Buses always used to be full and crowds seemed a lot bigger back then!

    I remember when the driver would shout down the bus for the “2′s & 4′s” to stand up & let the adults sit down when the buses were busy.  They wouldn’t dare do that now, it’d be infringing the little darlings human rights.
