Still going down memory lane....

Here are a couple of pages from I-Spy People. I don't know where Big Chief I-Spy came from but it must have been more exotic than where I did. I don't remember seeing any 'characters' like this around my street. I do remember the odd tramp or two but they were more soberly dressed than this chap! Can't remember the last time I got on a bus let alone when it was manned by a driver and conductor - or 'clippie' as we see here.
I'm sure I see my childhood through rose tinted glasses. I remember it as a great time to be growing up and think I was born at a special time. My memories include walking to school from 5 years old along busy main roads, having gas at the dentist and jelly and blancmange for birthday tea. Times have certainly changed and Big Chief I-Spy would probably now fall foul of the Data Protection Act or something else equally damaging. Hey ho!
