Who put the bike tyres up there?
And the single training shoe.
And the pair of clackers.

Or who chopped them down as the Centre Pole and 4 other outer poles to be lashed together....Old Town and then the FBB....we always had the biggest Bommy in Hartlepool!!!! Fuck The Council who tried to Nick our stored wood and settees....they got fucking bricked....and we also collected glass bottles to deter the Fire Engines coming into Old Town!!!!

I always looked forward to September more than Christmas....that's when we started collecting for Bommy Night!!!!

Clackers ? you're showing your age there mr i .. Were you any good with a catapult or Webley air pistol?

And someone set it alight the night before

You had to watch where you were walking round Flamboro and Mainsfoth terrace flying doors from 40 foot up

That year it was Billy Barclay....it was his turn to keep watch but he got cold he said....so he started a fire....the fucking Bommy!!!! R.I.P.Billy!!!!

Btw....it was always Spud who climbed the Centre Pole and lashed them all together....No Fear that Lad!!!! R.I.P. Spud aswell!!!
