    Just sat with my legs crossed and one boot over the knee and stared blisfully at my polished oxblood Solovairs and considered just how beautiful they are. Like a work of art really, with the bleach white laces. A pity I bought those DM's cheap after the other christmas for when my well worn...

    I just cannot see how Slade could ever be considered a skinhead group. It's just beyond me.

    When's this Margate do on? The coming weekend or the one after?

    Maybe those like me who came around to skinhead in the 1980's are just nostalgic for what ever was the original skinheads scene. Skinheads get fed up with being branded ultra right wing so they want that which was the original scene. Nice to see younger skinheads around and let's hope some of...

    I'll have to check the shifts at work. I can never get to the gigs up in Camden due to my shifts.

    It is estimated that there are around two or possibly three thousand skinheads in the United Kingdom. That beats the Republic of Belarus where a population of just under ten million has around eighty or ninety skinheads. Or that's what an ex Belarus skinhead was telling me on one of my forays...

    Plenty of young trojans up in Sunderland but the skinhead scene never really died there. Seen a youngster up in Middlesbrough with all the skinhead gear on. I can't see it coming back mainstream but it could be an alternative culture that some younger people buy into.

    Thought I would mention that I saw a load of scooter skins up at Goldhawk Road the other day. They were taking photos of their machines by the tube station. There's a pie and mash shop over the road so I guess that's why they motored down there. As for me I was in my blue uniform so they would...

    That's not a road it's a desert.

    I had a mate in Bath and I applied to Bristol Cityline but never got the job. They had VR's and only two of the old style half cabs left. Muller Road is often talked about by people from Bristol. Man all this nostalgia and maybe that's why I'm in this skinhead thing? I just cannot let go of the...

    Someone else who works on the buses I see. It may be a Daimler Fleetline but either way, I much preferred the semi automatic transmission they had back then, much better than these automatics on the road now.

    Ever read that horror novel 'Jekyll and Hyde'? I know which one this bloke reminds me of!

    I'll go along with that. The Royals are the business but there are good brogues around that are of a different style and if a guy walked up the street wearing a pair of maroon Loakes, Levi jeans, Harrington jacket with a Ben Sherman shirt on and close cropped hair, it would be quite obvious what...

    We bought what we could afford in the days when we started out. I get a bit cheesed off with the retro style people who pick up on the slightest out of place item such as a pair of ordinary brogues instead of the royals where the stitching does not arch down to the sole. It's nice to see so...

    'Leave me Alone' by Angelic Upstarts still rings bells with me. Maybe that's because I'm getting to be a grumpy old t.... but you're right; easier music on the ear becomes the norm when you get older.

    Evening all. Not from London but here at the moment and living in South London. A bit of on the young side as I was a 1980's skinhead so pleased to meet you all and here your comments. Nice ones I hope.
