Yes, my friends, time really does quickly fly.

I was just thinking how 50 years have flown by!

I left Cardinal Godfrey behind, one long ago May.

And I started work virtually the very next day!

 

I became a young Telegraph Boy for the G.P.O.

That was my very first job…over 50 years ago!

I delivered Telegrams to Liverpool area’s 1, 2 and 3.

Sixth Form, College or University was not for me!

 

£16 was my pay-packet, for a week’s work done.

Split 50-50, £8 for me and I gave £8 to my Mum!

I felt all grown up, in a world of older working men.

My family lived in Eden Hall Drive, way back then.

 

56 Eden Hall Drive was a lovely house in L25.

I was just 16 years old, such a great time to be alive!

Macca’s Venus and Mars album, I played non-stop.

On Saturday, I stood on the famous Spion Kop!

 

I also rediscovered T.Rex, thanks to just one song.

And to the greatest City in the World, I did belong!

The summers were hot and in the winter snow fell.

I have so many lovely stories to remember and to tell.

 

So, now fast forward to the year 2026, the present day.

Those golden years of 75/76 seem a million miles away.

I’m 67 years old now, so many changes I’ve lived through.

But to the greatest City in the World, I still belong to!

 

(Happy New Year to everybody on this wonderful site, take care x)
