I am amazed at the intricate details you Orig.s remember after 40 odd years.I barely remember my married days 20 odd years ago nevermind when I was 16.Impressive(or is it borderline aspergers syndrome,wink wink)

The A207 Shooters Hill - i know it well.- many a long trudge home years ago.     

When flyfronted refers to " from the London Gentlemen / City banker." is he refering to 'A Merchant Banker' that has a totally diferent meaning 'Down Sarfe'

Those days to us were obviously very special with great memories of teenage camaraderie and just general great times.  When you settle down you still have special memories but of a totally different view of a changed life.  This thread has revived a lot of memories that I had not particularly had forgotten but needed like minded people to resurrect and I am only too pleased to recall and put to print. 

Its enjoyable to touch on various minor subjects and read other folks opinions of things that occurred in our youth.  Recently we commented on 'cow horn handlebars' for bicycles that brought back many happy memories or when me and my mates were kids.  I am finding this thread is not just about our skinhead past but also reviving our general youth and I am pleased that younger members together with the contributors from abroad take pleasure in reading our old stories

Roy, my use of the word ' being' in my post is misleading should of used ' suggests' there were comments on the photo mentioning the n5 postcode and the highbury barn pub, all guesswork, ive spoke to the bloke whos fb page its on, he's a massive gooner and says whilst the houses in the background look like the houses around highbury he's not sure, does anyone on here smoke a pipe and wear a deerstalker, the mystery continues

The two lads to the left seem to be wearing Lee jean Jackets, this thing about jean jackets has been going on from near the beginning on this site
As i have said numerous times on here we did not wear Jean Jackets, 99% of Northern lads would wear jean jacket and jeans to football, they all looked the same. A Londoner would not wear one...no way...but I'am sure some Londoners would have worn one. but not if they was part of a Football crew,
I remember in 70 going to Everton away, their was 57 on that football special going up to Liverpool, near everyone was wearing a Crombie, coming back on the train near everyone had their Crombie mugged off them, i was one of the lads who managed to get home with me Crombie still on, but thats another story,

The Football Crews angle is an interesting part of this story.Nearly everyone had their crombie mugged off of them.Must have been a dark day.One thing I've heard(in other places)is that the scousers are theives.Where does this idea come from?

Me and me mate spent the rest of the day getting chased over Stanley Park,
Not sure where Liverpool association with Thieves comes from, I hated people from Liverpool for years after because of football, When I later joined the Army got to know manycousers, I found them lovely people. Also love Scouse Woman.
Just to add what Ed said Liverpool, Everton and Tramere, supporters... they are all mates often from the same family so they gang up against supporters from the outside on match days.

I assumed the scousers as theives was a generalization(bigotry)Was just wondering why I've heard it.Thought it might have something to do with the original casuals from Liverpool(The Perry Boys)Stealing clobber from the boutiques of Europe when they were on Football excursions.
