Blimey! You would have to be very tall to carry those off well. Ans I bet you could trip yourself up over those trouser bottoms if it was windy[/QU

I was very tall LL so really could not get away with platforms so used to wear them with Royals (brogues).

Did you wear them with bright socks and gingham shirts?

Didn't like bright socks but did like my Ben Sherman checked shirts.

I think it would have been dark, self patterned shirts, slightly shiny

Hey Matt, what you doing here? You'll be telling me about your alley bomper next (or is that a Welsh thing?)

If it's one of those silver marbles, I think it's just a Welsh thingy.I'd not heard it till I came to Wales.

[veggiechicken]

It may be just a silver marble to you but to us, it was very precious. There was a name for the really big marbles too

[Matt94]

well hand on heart i have never heard of a alley bomper or silver marbles? - please explain ladies!

Oh yes, that's what I was thinking of - checked not gingham. Seems a long time ago (and it IS!)

An alley Bomper was a metal marble - you could really smash the glass ones with it. I think the big one was called an Alley Tor but I could be wrong. Its a while since I played marbles!

Ha ha - yes they were precious to us too but I can't remember them having a special name.

Just how old is Matt? He says he doesn't know what you're on about - surely he's played marbles?
