When I was about 12 years old, I used to help out on a bread van around the MQ's. Now I know why the Baker used to take so long in some of the customers houses. Lots of OMO packets in windows.

The only other club that I knew of in the area, was the old Working Mens club, situated at the top of Walderslade Hill.

I lived at 18 Goad Avenue for the four years that I was in the Band of CinC Nore Command,HMS Pembroke and my second daughter was born in that flat. On the disbanding of said band in 1961 I was sent back to Depot Band Deal and I applied for an extension of occupation of that address only to be refused. I was a little bit P----d off with that decision and had to move family etc to Deal to live with inlaws. However I was pleased to be told that the whole fireplace surround had fallen out two weeks after I had vacated. Justice

That was ofcourse 18 Goad Avenue Dargets Wood. Just out of interest I Checked on Google Earth and even from Australia it still appears to be the same. Couldn't see the tree I planted in the back garden though. Perhaps that also fell over.

Still the same Eric, just occupied by local Numpties etc.

When I was a kid, long before they invented skate boards, we used to ride down Dargets Hill, using me mums bread board and a roller skate. Lots of bleeding knuckles and fingers.
