strong and envisaged no problems whaever. After trying several sites however, nobody wanted a casual labourer with no experience. As a last resort, I tried Jsmes Davies, a large timber merchant, situated on the canal at Hayes Bridge. To my delight, they were paying £5 a day, no cards required, for casual labour, to unload the timber barges that constantly travelled the canal. The first day was easy, simply working up in the huge stacks of timber, inserting small pieces of wood between each large plank that had been brought up by the labourers. This was to ensure good air circulation between each plank as it seasoned over the months or years.
The second day proved somewhat different, as my turn came to help with the unloading. A day I shall never forget! A crane had unloaded the huge stacks of timber on to the quayside, and the labourers had to carry them up into the tall storage sheds.Someone would lift two planks at a time, off the ground at one end, enabling the carrier to place himself underneath and find the point of balance on his shoulder. Then you were on your own. I had never lifted two planks of wood 18ft. long x 9" wideand 3" thick before, and although I found the weight bearable, had no idea of what was about to follow. As one walked, the planks began to bounce in time with one's steps, whipping up and down more violently as one progressed. Before there was time to adjust one's step, other planks between trestles also had to be negotiated, going higher and higher into the storage sheds. So while my planks were whipping violently, the trestle planks also began to whip up and down. I can only describe that first sensation as similar to being on an uncontrollable trampoline, with a bag of cement on either shoulder, each bag with a separate set of springs! Consequently, my first load went overboard before I was half way up the trestles!
After a while, one got used to it, and shuffled along rather than taking large steps. The physical exertion was phenomenal. The regular lads had their own shoulder pads, made of leather, and as no pads were supplied,

but my shoulder took quite some time to heal. I also began to realise the value of 'skilled labouring' and why the wages were so good. It wasn't sufficient to be big and strong, because at the end of the day it was all down to experience. That's why the short stocky lads doing that work regularly were so good at it. But it did dent my pride at the time.

s, simply went in in their underpants.The reason that I remember this occasion so vividly, was that there was a man there with a mandolin.He was absolutely drunk, but had managed a very pretty tune before stripping off to his pants, and diving, or rather falling, into the canal. Others were similarly staggering around in their pants which, when wet, were not a pretty sight! He eventually came out of the water and flopped down next to his clothes, unfortunately right on top of his mandolin, snapping the neck in half! I don't recall the expletives he muttered, but he turned to me, perhaps because I had been such an ardent admirer of his playing, saying "Here you are son, it's finished anyway", and gave me the mandolin. Although I remember feeling quite thrilled, the mandolin was quite useless, but I took it home anyway. The next day I answered a knock at the door, and there on the step was the mandolin man! He had obviously sobered up, and was obviously regretting the previous days events. He took his mandolin back and very kindly gave me a tanner! I would dearly love to know who he was, and whether he was able to repair the mandolin. He must have been a proper musician because one would never have found such a virtuoso on our estate....or would you? I'll never know."

ere.and gypsies over the splash.....thought it was his local spikes...but may not have been....he played comb tissue and spoons....born 1914 poor..so self taught......

f rope and we pulled all manner of stuff out of it, even a tandem bicycle frame one day which we promptly refitted with parts from Greenford Dump and rode it round for a couple of years. It did make me laugh the fellow in the bike shop next door to The Rumbling (or Thumping) Tum Cafe (we had to get tyres & tubes you couldn't get those at the dump) told us we'd have to get special wheels because of the weight of 2 people but of course we were only two kids & light weight at that so we never had a problem. Even today I still have a tandem and I've only ever put ordinary wheels on it. I do wish though that I'd known those much earlier days in Southall.

childhood, there are quite a few things that my daughters didn't ever have to suffer in the sixties. Although my dad used to mend all of our shoes (he was an apprentice with a cobbler before he became an engineer), I csn still remember having to go to school with a hole in the sole of my shoe, and putting a piece of cardboard in from a Shredded Wheat box until it was my turn to have my shoes mended! This was quite typical in our days. I dearly loved living in Southall in our childhood, and have some wonderful memories.

at Heston. I could only manage about half a width, which I suppose is roughly thirty feet or so. Anyway, I was so thrilled at this fantastic achievement, that I raced back home, and over the canal, where all the older lads were swimming, including my elder brother Bobby,who was a very capable swimmer. I had no intention of attempting to swim in the canal,but simply shouted at my brother, "Bobby, Bobby, I can swim." His reaction took me totally by surprise, as he replied, "Well swim across there then", and pointed at the canal, where everyone else was enjoying the water. He obviously realised my apprehension, and followed up with "Go on, and I'll give you a tanner." Although a tanner was a great incentive, I was petrified, but changed into my swimming trunks anyway. I looked carefully at the distance across the canal, trying to convince myself that it wasn't as far as the half a width at the baths The most terrifying part was getting into the water, and feeling nothing under my feet. At the baths I could stand up, but here I simply had a slippery moss covered rock to cling to. With everyone watching, I finally had to push away from the rock, and off into the canal, the very first time in deep water. It seemed an eternity, but slowly the opposite bank got nearer and nearer, until I actually touched home, and clung to the equally slippery wooden boards on the other side. This was one of the most ecstatic moments of my life. Not only could I swim, but I could join in with the rest of the fun that had been denied me for so long, until now...and I'd won a tanner! Although I had never been a good, or confident swimmer, at long last,I didn't have to watch in envy, as everyone else enjoyed all that fun during the summer."

I almost cried when I read this, but that was my brother who never gave in.

the word soon spread about the incident. I would think it gave someone a really nasty shock! They could have been killed. As for the sports at Southall Grammar school. I was only there from 1943-1945, as I had to leave to earn my keep. My brother David and my sister Kathleeen were luckier and both went there later. We held all of our sports days in our wonderful playing fields. We never went to Spikes Bridge track while I was there, probably as it was wartime as well. My friend Jill Garrud and I always competed in the 100 yards and she always just 'pipped' me. I have a feeling that the playing fields were sold off years later?

eared at the top of the slide and was too frightened to come down. All the kids behind her were getting fed up with waiting, so in the end I had to push past them all waiting on the steps and tell her I would come right behind her and hold her as she went down. It still took some persuasion, but we did slide down together in the end. Don't know who was supposed to be looking after her! The rocking horse was also another nice one, until the boys got on it and then it went manic!

very much part of the place, I did hear some news of him (via Maureen West a few years ago) in that he'd had a pub for many years but got out of it after a particularly nasty fight one time.

Do you remember Roy Rowbottom, Dave Blanchard and the girlfriend of Mick (or was it Tony) Carole?

I did have to laugh at myself the other day, I was on a tram going down our famous (at least in fashion circles) Chapel St & went past our local bowling alley and saw a security guard outside the place & said to myself "huh, in our day we never needed security staff at a bowling alley" but of course later in the day I chuckled to myself when I remembered we did in fact always have 2 bouncers at Southall Bowling Alley, one I've mentioned before was a cousin of Adam Faith, there was another grumpy one called Ernie & yet another who was by day a prison warder.
