Slightly off topic, but. Did anyone else ever have one of the old metal roller skates (Woolies and Logan’s on Foxbar Road were I believe the purveyors of said antiques) and use an old Christmas annual as a seat and tear down the nearest pavement on a hill. Hollows crescent was like Brands Hatch during school holidays. Them were the days.

Indeed, the skates were adjustable with a wee wing nut underneath [emoji4]

Honestly, happy days [emoji4]

Normally the Dandy or Beano. All great until you picked up too much speed and it all started to wobble from side to side - ending with the skate flying out. Happy days indeed - and mostly sunny 😎
