Lewes Road Laddies in Brighton.
During the 90s I worked in Brighton for laddies and was based mainly in this shop. DaveEdwards isn't my real name. Anyone reading who used the shop in that time might recall the Man City lad behind the counter. Anyway............
The following were old(ish) at the time and may no longer be with us. No disrespect is meant to any of them as I liked them all.
Bill the boxer.
Billy was a former boxer who from what I gather would have been a fair prospect but for a hip injury. At 76 he was still in training. He wouldn't think twice about dropping to the floor to do 20 press ups or shadow box his way around the shop. He hardly ever bet, but I do recall him having a bet with a few selection 5p doubles. His first 2 won, one of which was 16/1. He went ballistic jumping up and down! Whenever you saw him he insisted on shaking your hand, because he was a sportsman. Unfortunately I think he may have taken the odd punch too many and he wasn't exactly the most lucid of people. Most of the time I couldn't really understand what he was trying to say, except when there had been a big fight on the tv the previous night. I think he reserved the last part of what still functioned properly upstairs for his true passion and he would go into great detail about how Eubank should have done this with his guard etc etc. It was the only time he made any sense. Once told me he was ready for muggers! To look at him it was obvious he didn't have a pot to p!ss in and didn't have anything worth pinching!
The Magic Man - Pete
At first sight you wouldn't really know what to expect from him. About 60, his hair was always immaculately combed, usually wearing a suit. Then you looked down and saw the trainers! He had what can only be described as a bit of a drink issue. He was nearly always drunk and used to be given his dole money in smaller amounts throughout the week as they knew he'd blow it all early otherwise. He had a few phrases the main one being "That's magic!" Small punter £2 max and if he did hit you knew it was going straight on the White Lightening. Apparently he'd been Sussex pole vault champion in his youth. Time has dimmed my memory of a lot of his antics, but I recall at the time thinking you could get a stage character out of him. He was one of those people that whilst everyone might have a bit of a laugh at his expense if he fell off a chair or something, all the people liked him.
Janet
Again, mid 70s. She had very striking features and had undoubtedly been a very attractive woman in her youth. Loved Vodka and smoked roll ups. One day she turned up just as racing was about to start and stood in the doorway having pushed the door open. Steaming drunk. She moved forward, tripped over the step and went flying banging her head on the door hand on the way to the ground. I ran round from behind the counter and helped her to a seat. After a few minutes she got up and started betting. She spent the afternoon in the shop with no obvious effects, well apart from the lump that appeared on her forehead. It looked a little like one of those bumbs that appears on a Tom & Jerry cartoon, it was massive! She was so drunk she didn't feel any pain. The next morning she came into the shop and explained to me that her new shoes were a bit slippy and that was why she fell over.
One day the Magic Man comes into the shop drunk and sets eyes on Janet. He starts following her around the shop telling her she's gorgeous and trying to kiss her! She shouts at him that she has no idea who he is and doesn't want to know!
Marvellous days.

There was 2 White City threads also a "New Cross Anyone go there" thread. Absolute classics.

most boring on the site, mainly s0dded up by ridiculous moderating,
reminds me now a bit of ****'s, theres a light on but nobodys
in.

agree ron, if you try to liven it up a bit you tend to get abuse
i give up with the forum to be honest irish, few nice lads on here but the last 18 months it's been overrun by a one man lunatic show.
Football forum is full of mentalists
Racing forum has a few liars and fantasists
Golf forum is polite but fairly boring with everyone trying to out do the next with more feckin stats
Greyhound forum is friendly but clicky imo.
Ive got far too sucked in to the petty nonsense on the racing forum....a waste of my time....my fault however

not strictly true. Of the 769 registered posters on there, 489 wore blue on THursday. Now that does make it likely that on FRiday they wont, but 67.7% did, therefore with 34.98/290 wanting to eat more bananas, they say that the TRUE chance of someone wearing red and eating bananas on a Monday makes the price wrong.

YES, spent many happy days there...i remember backing a dog i had been following called STONEHAM one night either late 80s or early
90s, the dog was reputedly owned by the then bookmaker(sadly deceased ) ross jackson, who to my surprise put up 12/1...well i must have been
having a good night as i rushed into him asking for 12/1 for £50...which he duly laid obviously giving the dog no chance only to see it
flash out making all. !!! he did get some of his money back though as i bought the dog later that night in the bar for £500.
happy days...loads more pompey stories another time...

Didn't lay a penny Irish as is stated on the thread quite clearly.
I turned the dogs in once it became evidently clear Walthamstow was never to reopen.

I think the title of this thread is wrong but we get the gist of it. Any originals still around??
Addy and the rest, youre all still welcome to come on and show me how it should be done. I'm nowhere near as prolific as I used to be anyway, sometimes disappearing for weeks
Why don't you stop crying and grow up?
