I see Liverpudlian kids haven't changed much. Just waiting for the owner of that car to walk away before he nicks the wheels.

1955

The Dapper Teddy Boys or Teds were a mainly British youth subculture of the mid 1950s to mid 1960s who were interested in rock and roll and R&B music, wearing clothes partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after the Second World War. …

 

 

Standin' on the corner, swingin' my chain
Along came a copper and he took my name
He put his dirty maulers on my long drape coat
And I whipped out my razor and I slit his throat

[Chorus]
Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo
Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo
Ah-aah-aah-ahh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh
Teddy boy boogie-boogie, boogedy-boogedy-boo

Well, I'm a teddy boy 'cause that's the life I choose
I wear a drape jacket and blue suede shoes
I smoke a big cigar and I dig the local hop
Saturday night I see my baby dancin' to the bop

[Chorus]

One night I was out on a chicken run
Gettin' my kicks and havin' some fun
A cop car came up from behind
So I whipped out my razor and I changed his mind

[Chorus]

Me too.

 

Kids in the front hands together in prayer, kids further back using it as an excuse to surreptitiously pick their nose.

 

I'm not saying where I was.

I thought that, it reminded me of Cilla Black's song  "Oh, you are a mucky kid"

I wish you hadn't, that's now an earworm I'll suffer for days, now.

Brilliant.

 

Now you've given King Power the genius idea to introduce RVN to the crowd on a King Power zeppelin over the stadium.

When they were putting the ring road in besides New Parks Boulevard (early 80s) they turned the landscape into a series of small hills and pools that were great for chasing each other round in.
