Re: Where were you in '73
Yes.
Wouldn't it be nice.
Getting back to this thread and reading it after quite a while, has made me smile inwardly and give me a glow.
We have a great team of people here, happily chatting away and swapping memories.
Love it!

I was in 6th form at Wath Grammar School (South Yorkshire), spent the summer holidays working as a dining hall porter at Butlins Filey.

Wasn't a rather precocious Wm Hague at Wath Comp around then?

Excellent!
Here's another from Way Back When.
This is of Mrs Mick F's dad and her younger sister in 1970 or possibly 1969 in Burscough, Lancs.

Re: Where were you in '73
Yes little Willy Hague was at Wath, a few years behind me though. I can't say I remember him, but my mate Steve failed his A levels and stayed on for another year to retake them and took great pleasure in repeatedly sending young William to the back of the dinner queue. I know he wasn't exactly popular, being a Tory in the heart of the Yorkshire Coalfield.....

That looks like a double adult/child sidecar, the motorcycle combination equivalent of a family car. Could that be a prefab in the background?
Re: Where were you in '73
Spot on with the transport!
It was the only transport they had in those days. All of that side of the family were bikers. Mrs Mick F's dad never passed a car test, so drove Reliants from mid 1971 onwards. He was 6ft 5in and mother-in-law was a little barrel, so they were quite a sight climbing in and out of a three-wheeler!
The pre-fab behind, is next door's garage.
