Can anybody remember the old signal boxes around town? Fish dock road, littlefield lane etc etc, I've worked with a lot of lads who worked all the local boxes.

I remember the Pasture Street one.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Used to be a model shop near there. Toynes. Used to go in there to buy (metal) toy soldiers.

I've worked a few local 'boxes' myself Chris    


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I remember the signal boxes Chris,

Fish trains going out of the docks every day,

Then they built the flyover but the fishing industry was on the way out.
