I’m going to walk 60 miles during November for the Royal Marsden cancer charity. facebook.com/donate/1922573…

I lost my mom today. She was supposed to be released from the hospital this afternoon but had unexpected complications this morning left us with this giant hole in our hearts. I’m sorry, mom. This world got a lot darker without you in it and my life will never be the same.

@bornatotter Love a matinee - FOLO great on stage last night . See you at the end of the pier !

I’m too sexy for my shirt…. Great night down the Fighting Cocks in Kingston and lovely to see so many old faces. You know who you are. Next London show is a nice Sunday matinee at the lovely Bread and Roses in Clapham on Sunday 17th May. Come and join the mayhem.

@bo66ie29 Great film Bobbie . I first went to the Derby in the late 60s as a 7 year old with my Mum , we’d go up there for the build up which started 2 weeks before Derby day. This film shows how big the Derby was. Great memories.

I’ve put together all of Pathé’s Epsom Derbys from the 1960s. None of the horses, all of the people.

@bornatotter @cvhdavidblues SM1 crew ready for a night of high jinks

Bloody hell. This is coming at us fast now. I’ve heard reports of mobs being mobilised from all over the old manor. It’s going to be boisterous and one or two light ales may be consumed. Be advised. Buy a ticket. It’s only a small venue and some of our fans are quite fat,

@YesterdaysBrit1 Epsom Downs station 1907 . Many platforms to manage the crowds arrival & departure for Derby day .

The year is 1969.

@YesterdaysBrit1 In the distance - an MG Magnette (possibly?). Blue & cream . We had an ‘E’ registration as family car. Lovely blue leather seats .

It was a long time ago.

@YesterdaysBrit1 It’s the summer of 76.Im 14 years old. Out on my track bike riding through parks.Saving fish from drying ponds. Playing swing ball with my mum in our garden, watching Concorde at 5:30pm arriving from New York! What memories.

It's 1976 and I'm 8 years old. It's that beautiful summer and the school holidays. I've made a makeshift tent in the garden from an old bed sheet and a few wooden poles. Dad has just finished his shift at the factory. He's worn out, but he comes into the garden to see my brother and me playing. We're eating cheese, tomato and salad cream sandwiches, made with Mothers Pride sliced bread, and drinking orange squash. The ice cream van will arrive at 4pm on the estate. Our garden is our world. All of the windows and doors are open in the house. The heat is stifling. Ladybirds roam free. Dad has fallen asleep on the sun bed. That tent would remain in place for weeks to come. These are childhood memories. We must hold on to them.

@bornatotter @cvhdavidblues @phillowe1 Dancing to the Chis Jones Roundabout - sort of night DB would be a judge on the Miss Derby County panel !

@cvhdavidblues @phillowe1 “Usual facilities?”

Anybody fancy it ? #dcfcfans

Our good friend and collaborator Vince Ray added to the bill for our record launch party on Easter Sunday down the Jenny Lind. From 4pm the band will be doing a meet and greet and you can arm wrestle your favourite member for a small donation.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Mid 1960s Eastbourne - first place I saw the sea as a 4 year old , driving in the family MG Magnette up Terminus Road . Memories of the pier and Fuller’s tea room with my Mum & Gran. Can’t ever take that away from me.

Childhood memories there. Can you smell the cigarette smoke? And what about the sticky carpet? And the hot dogs and fried onions? And people laughing and joking? And everyone spoke English. And life was simpler back then. And the seaside was a wonderful place to be. Amen.

@bo66ie29 Eastbourne - the first place I saw the sea! In this same year 1966. Drove down from Sutton in our family car MG Magnette . Travelling up Terminus Rd and suddenly there was the Sea ! Memories of the pier and fullers tea rooms

Beautiful healthy Eastbourne, the Suntrap of the South, waits to welcome you to the holiday of a lifetime. Filmed 60 years ago, in 1966.

@ColinSpenc4257 Remember the metal crates - I was milk monitor in the class for a while . Lovely memories of the mid 60s .

Who Remembers

@RodneyMarshall1 I went to the cinema in Croydon with my Mum to watch this film when it was released - always snapped a match in half and still do, even now after lighting a BBQ!

Roger Moore: "It was one of the best scripts I'd ever read. When asked about the movie, I always reflect that it was one of the few times I was allowed to act. It's a terrible admission from someone who has made a living in front of cameras. Though, in my defence..." 1/

@bornatotter A book , or perhaps a song ? FOLO 45rpm

Other than Motor Head who we thought were grebos we went to all these. 15 years old. Minesweeping pints, dodging the old Teds on the way back to the station. And up for school on Monday morning. I probably need to write a book about the Croydon Greyhound.

@bornatotter Lovely - how much & how do we get it . Let me know what’s best for you? Ps : will there be a limited edition FOLO hat ft the Turkey Barry style for Xmas 2026 !

@bornatotter XXL ? - any diff colour options . I like the hat in blue . FOLO fashion emporium !

Hats. Ready for the record launch. These will be available from the legendary “Battered Suitcase Mega Store”.

@bornatotter Excellent - if you have a link please forward. Will wear to the fighting cocks big night out !

@SafelyDoesIt Yep. We have shirts mate.

@bornatotter Is the Turkey Barry franchise included ?

Can I just be clear. I invented the Dirty Barry brand and own the intellectual property rights. It is true that we are rolling out the franchise, particularly now that the original DB has retired. If your town doesn’t yet have a Dirty Barry it’s five grand the full package,
