You spend your formative years in a place and never knew they even did this since 1976 - fudging things maybe (probably) but hey, S’all good.
And I didn’t know this - from Wikipedia:
“ * Danny Ings, England and Liverpool striker born in Hythe in 1992.”
I knew…my Dad was one of the first “Blue Badge” guides of Southampton. He was vice pres. of said “Southampton Tourist Guide Association”
But Hythe Ferry doing tours starting in 1976, really? They had enough trouble getting ferries to run on time.
Yeah The Tourist Guide Association did a whole range of tours. My dad did the city walls , cellars and undercrofts, bus tours of the docks, junior school lectures. He kept all the kiddies thank you letters, he loved those especially…I still have them somewhere.
I did a year doing admin for Soton City Council before going to Uni and part of the job meant I got to see all of the “hidden sights” your dad would have seen. Bloody brilliant and I’m sure your dad would have said likewise
Probably only @PhilippineSaint will like the pictures, but you’ll all love the narration

Very good Cobham,
But I cant believe that real Indians ate in the Dysentery Indian Restaurant 
Not twice guaranteed
Yeah…I’ve been in the undercrofts a few times in the evening, just me and my dad…spooky.
That looks as cold as my office - cos the fecking heating has gone kaput again
Yep it was -2c this morning when I set out. A positively balmy +2 when a snow flurry caught me just before I got back home.

The number of hats and moustaches though!
Oh how little you know. Yes I was there…we beat the toffee’s 3 - 1 and I still have the VHS tape of the game. I was filming it, stood behind the tripod. You can always tell which one I am as I always wore a cap.
Not sure if anyone has posted it before but may be of interest to at least someone who remembers when Southampton was in black and white.
Have no idea why it did that - apart from me being a technofucktard…
