Re: BEST THREETOWN FUNNY MEMORIES
Great wee stories, Penny and JD. I remember my pal and I having a pee in the Regal car park and getting caught by a couple of constables who took us back to the polis station. After consulting with their seniors, they had us sit there for over an hour before sending us on our way. That was a Sunday night during the monkey walk in the fifties. Our excuse was that we couldn't wait till we got to Countess Street - we've all been there.

It was funny, though I may have had a few heart attacks! Ever the tomboy, don't think there's a childhood photo of me with 2 front teeth or without scabby knees! Have had a good laugh at these stories.

I was trying to cheer her up, swinging on the lowered clothes rope, she watching, still broody, from the upstairs window, until my antics to amuse her had me flip over on the rope, come up intact with a big grin, still hanging on to the close line..she bu Lol!rst out laughing and came down and joined me..yeah, Elise, cooda broke ma neck!

Jumping the burn was a right of passage...Swinging from a tree branch to get to the other side unscathed was watched by all. Unfortunately I failed. After much coaxing ...a lot of much coaching, I jumped and almost drowned...not really the burn was very shallow but everyone laughed anyway...I crawled home soaked to the skin but at least I tried and can laugh about it now! lol

Miss that too, Morag! We were lucky to have lived like that!
ps - forgot to mention there was a rope attached to the tree branch...I didn't swing out far enough...I was ten at the time and against my better judgement I thought I was bullet proof for one moment...lol. Good times.
