At our church home group this week someone piped up that anyone over 25 on Facebook needs to get a life. I quickly changed the topic back to our study at that point!
I used to collect the Pink Un on my bike when working for Ted Parfitt's which was a wooden shack paper shop opposite the PC World trading estate entrance. As I cycled towards the Twerton Arch with my consignment I was often met by an excited mob who followed me along the Lower Bristol Road to the paper shop. I know how Eric Cantona must have felt when he visited us recently.
I had a paper round at Joe Tindall's just along the High street from Ted Parfitt's and there was always a queue for the pink un around six on a Saturday night and some bloke used to walk the area i lived (Chinatown) calling "All the Chronicles" selling the pink un and the ordinary chronicle.
I was always quite impressed that just after 4 on match days a paper seller would walk around the perimeter of the pitch shouting "All the halftimes" selling chronicles with the halftime scores printed in the stop press on the back page.
