I seem to recall it looking like this but memory is very hazy. It just looks so familiar?

This itself was pretty-much an afterthought having been added in1962. Prior to that it was possible to see almost all the way from Smithford Way to Shelton Square.

Any age is acceptable as long as you feel old! I'm just the right side of 70 but I'm sure there's a few who are only nippers in their 40's and 50's!This could make or brake my day. How old do you need to be to qualify for this thread?
You old bastard. I'm only 68...Any age is acceptable as long as you feel old! I'm just the right side of 70 but I'm sure there's a few who are only nippers in their 40's and 50's!
Ya lightweight!You old bastard. I'm only 68...
I'll take that all day long. Suddenly got an extra spring in my step. I might dig the bmx outonly nippers in their 40's
70 next year though. As the bastards keep reminding me.Ya lightweight!
Performed it every time i have seen himWhat a crazy world we're living in!
The one time he didn't was in the movie of the same name!Performed it every time i have seen him
Must admit never seen it ,Wish my memory was as good as yours I remember songs especially on advert and need a prompt (google) and i go ahh rhats where i know it from.Getting back to Joe used to love hearing him play guitar solo'sThe one time he didn't was in the movie of the same name!
There's a streetband version by The Happy Wonderers at the start of of the movie and another by the cast ensemble at the end but although a recording of Joe is heard in the background he is never actually seen performing the title number solo!
It's a brilliant movie though and highly recommended to all fans of the 1960s.
My favourite Joe Brown song is "I'll See You In My Dreams". Bloody love it!The one time he didn't was in the movie of the same name!

My memory isn't that good either, it was recently shown on Talking Pictures and has also been released on Blu-ray and DVD!Must admit never seen it ,Wish my memory was as good as yours
Ah, the combination.Just had a sort through the box of old photos as I thought I'd seen this the other day. Only photo we have of the old Beeza. Must be about '56 I reckon. Me in the chair, and those are the backs of houses on Hall Green Road. The Green Man (now gone, sadly) just out of picture to the left. Can't see the houses now as there's loads of tacky new ones built in between.View attachment 23001
Yup. Always loved em. Built and ran several of them in the eighties (mostly BMW airhead based, but one Honda CB750). Awful things in traffic, but just something that gets to you, somehow.Ah, the combination.
