Aye Welly rings and jock rot caused by to much wool in the trouser mix, to many checky patterns. Waistbands that covered your nipples and made you look like Smiffy from the Bash street Kids, or Gladstone Small, Cyril Regis, Lisa Butcher or the He-man baddy that used to make like a battreing ram.
I must have looked like a Fimble in the nude
Chilblains
Sock Rings
Welly Rings
Jock Rot
Y front scars
High waister line

Zombie eyes from your swimming goggles

Aye got to be honest. Years ago I used to go into Woolies in every town I went to to have a look at the gear. Tackle sellers take notice. Try putting some tackle in ladies shoe shops. The possibilities are somewhat endless lol.

Fly Papers.
Tea made from proper tea leaves that was bright red when poured.
Snake belts.
Saviles music shop in South Shields.
Edgar Sealey rods and reels.
Beatle Jackets.
Donovan denim caps.
The Guinness clock in the Marine Park.
Manual hair clippers that pulled your hair out by the roots.
Dave Clark Five Shirts (I bought one of these. It was white with two white buttons on the side of the collar. I then put on a black round-necked jumper and went down to the Grotto on Saturday night. Wondered why I was getting some funny looks and it was only when I went to the toilet that I looked in the mirror and realised that I looked like the local Vicar ! ).
HAPPY DAYS THOUGH !

Funny you should mention Savilles and The Dave Clark 5 in the same post.........\"Catch Us If You Can\" was the very 1st record I bought............from Savilles
Aye Tony, I used to love going into Saviles when it was under the bridge in King Street. I used to look at the guitars in the window and wonder how to get enough cash to buy one. Can you remember the weekly music magazine that you could buy from there containing all the words of the top ten singles for that particular week ? I cannot remember the name of the mag but it was great. Somehow, Saviles didnt have the same atmosphere when they moved over to Keppel Street.
Cheers Mate.
