I saw E.T at the cinema. I must have been five years old. My mum cried at the end, which seemed pretty odd at the time. Sorry, not really the point of the thread I know. I was going to say that I'd never been to a football match, but then I remembered that I was once forced to watch Hertha Berlin on a stag weekend...

Darn it now I've got this in my head (with silly voices!)


I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band

I seen a needle that winked its eye

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly

I seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring

I seen a polka-dot railroad tie

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck

And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck

I didn't see that, I only heard

But just to be sociable, I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat

And I just laughed till I thought I'd die

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly


*sighs*

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
