Brings back loads of memories, I see the Maypole.  Can anyone remember Home and Colonial stores, or Liptons near Woolies?  What about Johnny Cuthbert ( ex boxer ) who had the chippy down Wormgate, then went on to the Still before Albert Johnson.

He had a bubble gum machine outside, I remember he left the front off one day.  Me and my mates had "chewey" for weeks.  So if Tony is still alive, I had about 20 @ 1 old penny each so I owe you 10p with inflation would a quid do?

I bought my first telly from Wain & Sharp in the late 60's.

I also started work at Trenery's about the same time.

Wonderful memories of a lovely old, and unspoilt, town.

Very true, we had the state of the art MULTISIGNALS from Wain and Sharp.

Adam if you look on Facebook there is a photo of the 74 year old gentleman! No wind up I'm afraid but a racialist attack on a 74 year old because he was English!

If you had actual footage of the attack, and with sound proving that it was racial, he still would not believe you KON

We had this post last year, I remember Bob getting a right slating.

What KON is saying, is this is a race attack on a pensioner.

Bob's was a theft that was done by a foreign national.

Either way Boston has a problem, too many and not enough work.

The town should get extra funding, look at the strain on all the services.

I have known Andy and KON for many years, I do not know Myleftfoot.

Andy is a moaner, that is his nature but he has had to put up with a lot more than most on this forum.  You may not agree with what he says, but what he says he says from the heart.

Kon is a wind up merchant, he always as and always will be, but he means no harm.  He justs winds everyone up.

I do not know what to make of Myleftfoot, he has certain undertones of someone who used to post on here under several guises.

This is an open forum and 90% of the time it is used properly and I would hate to go back to the time when the Patter had to keep it's head down for a period of time.

You obviously don't read all the posts on here or the Boston Standard. The rent is £75,000 a year and the Chairman stated that the budget had been cut slightly from last year. When one of the applicants for the managers job applied he wanted a budget of £9,000 and was told that was too high so we can assume the budget is somewhere around £4 to £5 K. On average gates of 1100 you don't need to be Einstien to work out that the Board are funding a large short fall. Not sure what else as a fan we are supposed to know.

Is that 4-5 K a week Tash?  just being nosey
