You just reminded me that the Abbey Wood Comprehensive School uniform could only be bought from the Co-op or Cuffs in Woolwich..Justin20474 said:Only being able to buy school uniform from Eric Thomas in Bexleyheath, not Asda, tesco, poundshop or anywhere else.
The Co-op uniform came with a separate school badge which had to be sewn or pressed on; the Cuffs badge was integral to the fabric.
Anybody remember the huge Christmas trees that Cuffs and Co-op had on their awnings every December?
Used to love Woolwich when I was a little boy; the open and covered markets, the old ferry approach; the Odeon and ABC cinemas.My Mum says there were 5 cinemas in Woolwich when she was young.
When MacDonald's opened their first UK outlet they said they chose Woolwich because it was a "typical English town".
God help us if it still is!
That Abbey Wood School cap lasted about 10 minutes on the first day and was never worn again :-)Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:Justin20474 said:Only being able to buy school uniform from Eric Thomas in Bexleyheath, not Asda, tesco, poundshop or anywhere else.

Being at the Charlton concert in 1974 - headlined by The Who with Keith Moon on drums, supported by Lou Reed, Bad Company & Maggie Bell.
There was a very strong smell of wacky baccy lingering in the air that day!
Privileged to have seen the drumming legend that was Keith Moon0 -

The Who were The Who - always brilliant - but Stevie Marriott stole the show for me, albeit a pretty short set.1 -
Alex Harvey was good to.1

Am seeing them tonight at Wembley and a sign of being an old git is being pleased that your seat is at the end of a row, making for easier piss breaks.bobmunro said:

when the club puts up a picture of Graham Moore for a minutes applause and you think 'I always thought that was Alan Campbell, I must be losing the plot...'6

Good call - that was a top performance.Baldybonce said:Alex Harvey was good to.
Digressing slightly, saw Captain Beefheart 2 years earlier at South East London Poly and, as a 15 year old, really played a big part in my musical direction.
The Valley concert in '74 was a special event, we were all very lucky to have been a part of it - even Lou Reed, with his orange hair and all leather outfit was really refreshing. Transformer was a really good album but, tbh, I'd never heard of Lou Reed before that concert - shame on me!
