The Littlest Hobo
(superb theme tune/ lyrics)-

'There's a voice, keeps on calling me,
Down the road, it's where I'll always be,
Every stop I make, I make a new friend,
Can't stay too long, keep moving on, til I'm home again.

Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down…...
.....Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on..........!'


Could be adapted and become the theme tune to Pools, searching for and keeping a clean sheet! :dance:

That ship in the docks opposite the Vic circa 1975. The Princess Helena. Morells everything. Bruce Moores. Middleton Pier. The Heugh in reasonable condition and dodging the waves over the top half way across. Steetleys chimney and pier save it please. Poolie fans who were/are Pit Yakkers when the pull of Sunland and their "fans" who never went to Roker Park always called Pools shite. Once a Poolie always a Poolie even a Cornish one.

Aye that's right - David was a bit of a wizz on the computer in the days when nobody had one- think he put the stock on an early spreadsheet on his Spectrum! Remember him being painfully shy- mind his Mum could talk a glass eye to sleep!

David's biggest problem though was his fear of soap! Sure they lived in one of the bungalows on Percy Street - opposite Jesmond Road, as would often see them on my way out of school.

Goggins was always good for an emergency card- only trouble was, some of them had been there since the '60s! Remember my Dad getting an Anniversary one for my Mum and she kicked off big time! :-D

The ‘Egton’….it was rumoured she’d been there that long she was ‘floating’ on baked bean cans the skeleton crew threw over the side.
A fine looking vessel, fully maintained for years.,,then sent for scrap.

A hot toddy, whiskey, hot water and sugar,when I had toothache my father used to use an eye dropper to put whiskey on the tooth. We were never encouraged to brush our teeth, it was accepted you would have them all extracted eventually and replaced with false ones.

Another one toothpaste in round tins, gas when getting a tooth extracted, horrific, the person who ever come from behind you and snuck the mask over your face.

I had a tooth out when I was 8 with gas…the old man took me down and I came out a bit drowsy…he bought me a packet of spangles give me my bus fare and told me to get the bus home as he was meeting his mates… :evil:

The natural flouride in Hartlepool Water is amazing - It might be a poor town in many aspects but you rarely see shockingly bad teeth, like you do down here.

Don't know if it's the same family, or whether they bought part of the name- but think it's the same premises - opposite the bottom of Sandringham Road.
