Guards vans on trains. Chuck your bike in, sit in the guards van with it. No need to book.

Good point!

Mmmm potato puffs. When I started Grammar School in 1963 the Tuck Shop sold those. Preferred the plain ones though.

I loved all the flavours but the salt and vinegar was the first pic I found

Sunday club runs before Sunday shopping ruined the roads. Not having to justify not wearing a h*lm*t. Standardisation of bike components.

Nothing, everything was sh!t in the 60’s and 70’s, even worse in the 80’s and don’t even get me started on the 90’s. I wouldn’t go back even if I could. Everything is much better now. Even the the telly, ‘cos I don’t watch it.

You more or less have my vote. 60's my teenage years, 70's newly married, mortgaged, winter of discontent, 80's were not too bad, changed wives. 90's struggling to repair my finances and fund children at University. I don't own rose coloured spectacles.

one of our regular stops was at Ripon, just off the market place, probably the best cream cakes in Yorkshire. I must make the effort to go and see if it is still there sometime although its probably a 'Subway' now which is not the same thing at all.

The old lady that used to sell very small pasties from her front garden in Milton Abbas in Dorset. Best I have ever tasted and always got one or two on my regular 50 mile route c. 1980. Bless her

I recommend Oliver's Pantry just off the market square in Ripon.
Gawd, I miss cafe stops . . .

Yes. My mum gave me a clout for printing shoot all over the place.
