Life for us kids on Saturdays was just messing around the alley or over the park with the rest of the Clan,Cousin and friends.There you could get stuff from the Play Park,like Stilts,Footballs,Hockey sticks and Skipping ropes.normally you just joined in with others and enjoyed yourself.Play at being Cowboy's or Indians or Robin Hood with your Bow and Arrow's(did accidentally Shoot my sister in her leg),Made Hidouts in the Woods.Got into the Swimming Pool through the Raillings,when it was very Hot days.great fun on the Swings and other rides.You felt safe in those days compared to todays life style.

As you got older you went to Saturday Morning Pictures,with your 6p Pocket /Spending money,3p to get in and the other to Buy the Stale 1p Rice buns usually ending up with about a Dozen,plus a Cream cake.They hey held games and Dance stuff on stage before the Pictures started and everyone had a go.then you cheer for the Best.I won a few times. Once the Pictures finished me and my mates use to walk up-down the aisles picking up the Money the other kids had dropped.I had a accident when race my friend someone had strung a lenght of Wire across the Grass and it cut into my Neck.
I used to go to the Libaray and help there of an afternoon,unless I was playing Sports for the Cubs or the Boy's Brigade.It was about this time I started to go Fishing up the Common.with my old Bean Stick and line and hook and a tin of worms.
then there were the times we Went to where they made the Plastic Air-Fix Model and we would collect the rejects and make one complete Plane.
We used to make Guy Fawkes and sit on the corner asking for Penny For the Guy,so that we could buy the 1pBangers.But you had to be on the lookout for the Police.Seem years ago but you always remember little things.but that was Saturday for youngsters.
