It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion. |

Is this not where the Bread House is now, remembering they just had steel shutter front and of course the smell of fish.

You are correct. I worked there briefly as a schoolboy but hated washing down every day and the lingering smell of fish certainly didn't endear me to friends!

Len Thompson used to work there. He lived opposite my grandfather on Boundary rd. Seem to remember his wife was either a dinner lady or something at CofE middle school.

Yes indeed, I fish a fair bit here in Western Australia and the skills I learnt have really helped to prepare them properly.

Condoms should be used on every conceivable occasion. |

Yes, I worked there, Saturdays, around 1957, I think............. Pay was 7/6 for Saturday mornings, extra 5/- if Saturday afternoon as well. Taught me how to fillet fish and dress a crab, lol Always gave me a couple of fillets of smoked Haddock or Cod to take home for Saturday tea, lol
