I remember the Uplands in The 70's. Yes, owned by Johnny Minns, (most decorated Britsh Soldier in WWII) who didn't give a hoot about anything and carried a sword stick at all times. The DJ at that time was his nephew, Bobby. Manager was Chris Somethingorother, buggered off to Australia years ago. There was another John FRYARS but he came along a little later, I think. Did Jimmy Smith marry one of the Ryan sisters? Jackie maybe?

Chris Smith was his name . Long hair - pally with Pete Bashford ( as was I at the time). I worked in there from 1973-1976 before going off to university. ( actually lived upstairs in the pub). Used to work behind the bar and also did the disco 2 times a week ( rock and roll and 60's night). Remember the Sullivans and Terry Naylor .Also very fond memories of an excellent and honest bar staff to work with - eg Dave Bulloch, Dave West, Micky Brooks, Barbara Nicholson etc.Good times and fond memories.

Hi, I'm Chris Smith and I used to be the manager of The Uplands circa '73-'76.

I did go to Australia and have recently returned and now living in Windsor. The hair in long... gone! But I'm still standing and would love to hear from anyone who was around at that time. Perhaps even meet up in the Actress for a beer.

Hi Jockyboy, I hope that you are well.

Not sure that I ever had long hair but it was a thrill to find your message. I was looking for Pete Bashford, it sounds like he's not in a good place but would still like to get in touch. I'm also keen to catch up with anyone from that era, one of my favourite times

I was listening to Huey on radio 6 and he played a track from Abandoned Luncheonette. One of my all time favourites and if memory serves me well it was you that introduced me to the album. I also remember you telling me that if I didn't go to Aus I would regret it. Can't know for sure if that would have been true but I've done it, I'm back, and I have no regrets.

I would like to catch up if you're interested

Sorry but I've only been here nearly twenty years. After your time. I knew the Uplands, though :)

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By malumbu · Posted

      What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

      I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"

      Melbourne Tyres closed down

      Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'!

      Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
