Nostalgia with Social Comment

It looks as if Montana Mike is to be re named as Colorado Chuff! is the love affair over?I hope he can get some retro shirt idea's from the photo of that great centre half on Sheila's blog,that was when the ball had a lace in it and a spare one in the shirt,the boots were suitable for playing football and working in the mines,and it took a brave man to head the ball on a sludge sodden field,my mother always said "it was heading that heavy ball that made your dad go bald"she might have been right.
Nostalgia,it's not what it used to be,when a packet of cigs were 1penny for 5, beer 4 pints for tuppence and kids at 11 years old were sent up chimneys or down the mines,for a weekly wage of a farthing less tax,it makes you pine for the good old days,no TV,or internet,no washing machines,butter was good for you,full cream unpasturised milk with added tb.you could reminisce forever.
Latest from our hen hut correspondant,the white hen is still struggling to hatch a strategically placed pot egg,and taking up good nest box room,forcing the other residents to squash into two nest boxes,as befits their highly intelligent brains,they make billy the dog look like a genius.
