Big Thanks then I wasn't one of the louts of that era I was early seventies
Yeah it was a fairly bad chapter of my life not saying there weren't some good times & at the time I was probably thinking it was all good times until it came to paying the dues.
That was the launch I suppose of a pretty rough decade that had me tied up with things that I have found hard to out live.
I suppose the real thing that made me look seriously at life was in November 1985 when I thought I could catch 1.2 tonne of steel grid from 3.84 metres.(found out I couldn't)
The circumstances that occurred that day made me accept that something might just BE that which we cannot explain some called it by varied names I use the term GOD (Gentle Old Dave)
Anyway well off track at least you cant blame me for terrorizing you you've got to laugh.
Have a happy & good life as too the rest out there from Dave

Dave,

My time frame was the nineties. But it's not really the people I'm talking about - they adapt as best as they can to the situation. It's about the look, feel and vibe of the place for me.

I'd just like to Thank everyone who contributed
to this thread. I've enjoyed learning about our
heritages and seeing what a truly diverse group
we are on OLO.

All The Best.

Thanks also, I definitely wasn't one of the louts then I was well out of there by then.
Yeah the area was pretty rough at times but there was a lot of good people that I met.
Parramatta Road was never what you would call an attractive road to drive but you could do some wild driving at the early hours of the morning back when I was there.
Wont go into depth leave that to imagination it was just that a few of the rigs that I drove back then just had to be out of sight in a hurry.
Anyway like Foxy said it has been an interesting thread
Thanks have a healthy happy life all from Dave

Here's an interesting one that I would like to know the full story behind. In the Allen & Grayson book there was a Grayson widow that had a Duke write a letter to a Lord of the Manor to give her the right to have lease upon land back in the mid 1700's.
Apparently the Duke was very adamant that this arrangment go ahead I would be interested in what favour this woman held with the Duke What do you all reckon
Thanks have a healthy & good life from Dave
