It might be an experience to ride on one of those trams today, but 2021 brings us comfort don't you think?

Yes, I agree. I do remember going to Wigan Grammar School by bus in the fifties. Lolly, you know from where....the bus stop on Helvellyn Rd. No doors, and short pants, in the winter...we bloody well froze.....

BUT that was all we had back then and we accepted it. We were tough little beggars...and today I am proud of us back then....Yeah...

Here's to you
