We popped into a collector's fair on Saturday, which contained mainly junk! JJ spotted this Radio 1 mug and was attracted to his 'retro-ness'!! I was a huge Radio 1 addict in the 70s (and was in love with Noel Edmonds!!), and must admit I encouraged JJ to buy the mug (not that he needed much encouragement!) I immediately recognised the Radio 1 logo, which I used to doodle on my school books, and to prove I was a true fan, I showed him all my diaries, which ranged from 1978 to 1986!
The song I'm putting in the Music Monday's group this week is Ten to Eight by David Castle, not because it was particularly a fave of mine, but it makes me think of those mornings before school, listening to the radio, and it brings back special memories of happy days!
Hands up if you listened to Radio 1! (I still do!)
Doyle's Cafe was a popular community gathering space located at 3484 Washington Street in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood. Doyle's opened its doors in 1882 and grew from a one-room Irish pub to a three-room bar and restaurant that was host to both locals and tourists alike. It was also known as a favorite gathering place for both local and national politicians. Doyle's poured its last pint on October 26th, 2019, closing its doors for the last time at midnight.
The Doyle's Cafe Memorabilia collection features the photographs, news clippings, ephemeral materials, and other decorations that hung on Doyle's walls during its historic 137-year run.
The physical item shown here were sold by Doyle's Cafe through public auction on November 6, 2019. Jamaica Plain Historical Society is steward of the digital images.

Out of my entire original Japanese lobbycard set for Lady Snowblood, this one with Meiko Kaji is my favorite!
Interesting, and unexpected signs at Glan-y-Afon, on the Coastal path to the stepping stones.
The Gaerwen sign was from the staion between the Bangor and Holyhead Main line across Anglesey. The branch line into Gaerwen from Amlwch ,via Llangefni, joined the mainline there. As the sign indicates both Bangor and Holyhead, I can only assume it came from somewhere along the Branch , possibly the former market town of Llangefni.

Some memorabilia over the years.
The amenity kit bags are from the 1990s. "Connoisseur Class" was the branding for United's international and premium domestic business class that was used during the 1990s (and for me personally, the premium domestic Connoisseur Class, from New York to Los Angeles in 1997, was my first-ever taste of something other than economy class), and the white bag is from the first days of the Boeing 777 in service.
The buttons commemorate the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles as well as United expanding its route network to all 50 states around the same time. United was the first airline to achieve this feat, made possible in part because of United Express regional contractors; also the 1978 deregulation had allowed United to start flying to markets in the Deep South and other areas well beyond its traditional San Francisco - Denver - Chicago - East Coast axis.
And of course, the early 1970s "Fly the Friendly-Skies of United" button can never be forgotten. The "Friendly Skies" tagline, used from 1965 to 1997 (and again since 2013), is by far the most memorable airline tagline from any airline, any era. Many variations of that tagline have existed over the years, to mark different occasions as well. (I added my own unofficial variation in 1999 - "Fly the Lesbian-Friendly Skies.")

This is our mother's souvenir scarf from around 1942 in support of the war effort, so is now over 80 years old ...
In celebration of the 80th Anniversary this coming week.
As you might have seen on my Flickr site here our mother worked as a "Land Army Girl" during WW2 in what was known as the Women's Land Army, helping on farms and the like in support of the war effort.
Victory in Europe Day is the day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces on Tuesday, 8 May 1945; it marked the official surrender of all German military operations.
The Things We Keep!
You know how it is, you decide on a tidy up, or even just a re-arrangement of stuff, and before you know where you are it’s turned into a rummage through things that haven’t been seen for ages. I have a number of memorabilia boxes which I hadn’t looked at for a long time; mostly contain an assortment of cards from Birthdays, Christmas & Anniversary, to ‘Good Luck’ cards from former colleagues. One however, contains an odd assortment of reminders from my last days of school and the early years of my adulthood. Rummaging through these yesterday, I decided to make a photograph of some of them.
In this photograph can be seen my school tie and blazer badge (displaying the Throstle), from West Bromwich Grammar School. Also, my very last school bus pass. I always came home for lunch as I loathed school dinners. This was a fairly slick operation. The school was located in Hateley Heath after it moved from West Bromwich High Street. I lived close to the Oak House Park at the other side of West Bromwich. This entailed travelling on the 28 Circular route. At lunch time, the bus arrived outside the school at 12.26pm. School finished for lunch at 12.25pm. If I was lucky there was no problem. If I wasn’t, I could be seen chasing the bus up Heath Lane Hill in an attempt to jump on the back. Not easy with a large leather satchel. If I was lucky enough to catch this bus, I had to change in town to a No. 16 bound for Oldbury as this particular 28 terminated in the town centre. If I missed my 28 I had to wait until 12.40pm for the next one. This, however, took me all the way down Bromford Lane, which clawed back a bit of time. This usually left me about 10 minutes for lunch before catching the return bus at 1.20pm. Strange how I can still remember the times forty-one years later!
After school the next rite of passage was passing my driving test, which I did on October 14th. 1969. October 14th. also happens to be my wife’s birthday, not that I knew that at the time. Passing my driving test immediately opened up a new world to me even though I didn’t have a car and when the driving licence changed, I just couldn’t bring myself to dispose of my old, traditional red one.
After training at Ryton-on-Dunsmore Police Training Centre I spent a period in the old West Midlands Police Force, hence the diary and ‘Definitions’ booklet. We were required to learn all the definitions by heart. I managed most of them, but certainly couldn’t do it now, although I can recall the odd one or two. There are 86 in the booklet including definitions for ‘Constable’; ‘Large Goods Vehicle’; ‘Small Goods Vehicle’; ‘Obtaining Pecuniary Advantage by Deception’; ‘Theft’ and ‘Arson’.
Following my stint in the Force, I spent the next four years at Dudley Teacher Training College. These were undoubtedly four of the happiest years of my life. Included in the photograph are my college ID, a couple of reminders of Rag Week and the ticket to my Graduation Ceremony at Birmingham University.
The tax discs are an assortment from my first two cars. The first of these was an Austin Cambridge (LON 173 F) in which I learnt and passed my test. I bought this off my Father during my last year at college and managed to make one gallon of petrol last like you wouldn’t believe! It was a fairly heavy car and, as a result, rolled very well. If I was lucky with traffic and the lights, I could accelerate down Castle Hill in Dudley, stick it in neutral and roll all the way down to, and around, Burnt Tree Island, down past the Datsun garage and over the hump-back canal bridge, across the lights at Sedgley Rd. East and down as far as the Dudley Port bridges. Not recommended and,needless to say, I could only pull this off very late at night!
My second car was a Mrk 3 Cortina 2 litre GT (JOK 217 L) which I adored. The RAC document was my first year of membership all those years ago, whilst the last item is the receipt from the car auctions in Wednesbury when I sold the Austin. I got £150 for it and was close to tears as I left it in the car park. At least I still have the original rear number-plate.
It all seems a very long time ago.
HMS BEAVER [F93] memorabilia displayed at the Devonport Naval Heritage Centre - August 28,2004.
HMS BEAVER was one of 10 Type 22 missile frigate of the Broadsword Class ordered by the Royal Navy.
The ship was laid down at the Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd., Scotstoun, on 20 June 1980 and finally commissioned on 13 December 1984.
Originally 22 ships of the class were planned to be built, but after the Falklands War, it was decided 10 was enough
The ship was decommissioned in 1999 and broken up in 2001.
This photograph was taken on Navy Days 2004 - one of the Heritage Centre's early open day.
It is a shame that the Royal Navy have scrapped "Navy Days" they were well supported when I attended.
