Weather in Stockport

Quoted from LH

Done well to get to a second page without someone telling us the wind and rain was worse in the 70s!

Hey dont forget the drought year of 76.
Going to school in the 70's when we had snow on the ground for 3 weeks not 3 days.
Happy Days .

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

I had it easier than you tha’ knows; by the time I was 23, I’d paid off me mortgage, got me’sen superannuated, got an NHS dentists for life, had numerous same day appointments wi’ a doctor - in person, and got a degree with no student debt and had full student grant of £1,500 a year which I spent on Grimsby away games and tetley bitter at 50p a pint.

Tell that to the youth of today and they wouldn’t believe you…

Yes and we had power cuts too Crikey turn the "WI-FI" and telly off in our house the worlds come to an end.

Quoted from Caveman

Used to play on Bradley and Barretts with the mud deeper than
our boots.

Oh and had just bought a new semi in Middlethorpe Road for £3,600.
Thought I'd never be able to pay off my mortgage.

A quid would give me a good night out in the
Happy Days !

Back in the day we only had a Wimpey  way before the "M-word" fast food chain came to town.

Quoted from Rick12

In reference to the video Pope Francis done he didn't specify any country's pal. Just remember watching it and it hitting me hard emotionally with the injustices of life. He's Argentinian and being out in the Hispanic world you see things in real life and  in the news which correlate eg Mexican migrants going days without food and surviving on water sitting on top of train wagons just trying to get into the USA for a better life .

Its very sad indeed, but no one seems to look beyond the surface and see some of the reasons for these issues, in many countries and continents corruption is endemic, no real democracies so people dont have a choice or chance to better themselves, and communism doesnt work among many other issues.

Do we know if there is any danger of the match being called off this afternoon?

There's always a danger of a match being called off for any number of reasons (i.e we get 5 players sent off), but rain isn't one of them today.

Excellent, thank you.

oh we are so lucky that we don't have corruption in our politics and we can all rest assured that whatever party is in power they will strive to do things that benefit the people and not themselves or their families.

Reading Ray Winstones (who I like as an actor )book at the moment "young Winston" and he touches on the above .  Talks about Vanessa Redgrave trying to get him to join the workers revolutionary party as a young lad. Weren't having it and told her to f*** off . He had nothing against her but as he stated "some of the people running her organisation weren't exactly whiter than white in how they conducted themselves".

As you say can't trust no political side completely. All have something negative in their lockers .
