Dinner vs Lunch, by Alan on Sun, 29 Aug 10, 18:12.	(226 views)
Do you remember when you had your main meal at mid-day and called it dinner? Everyone got at least an hour for their dinner-break. Lunch was something you only ate in restaurants (in which case it was luncheon) or you had on a day out as in packed lunch. Your evening meal was your tea and was usually just something like egg and bacon on a small plate with loads of bread and butter to fill you up. Supper was a biscuit and a cup of cocoa

Who remembers the original etched glass doors into the Fleece ballroom. There was a notice above them that really puzzled me as a kid in the 40s and 50s. Tickets must be shewn. I assume that this was some kind of early 20th century or stylized spelling of shown

Grange Park Golf Course, by MogsXX on Sun, 29 Aug 10, 18:40.	(162 views)
When I was a boy in the late thirties I used to walk across the Grange Park Golf Course on my way home from school. Back then the golf course was on the opposite side of Prescot Road to what it is today, it ran from The Grange Park Hotel to the end of Upland Road including the land that is now occupied by Grange Park School. I can't remember when it moved to it's present location. Is there anyone out there who remembers anything about or played the old course and is this the one that bred our amateur champion?
