Product Description

Product Description

Take a trip back to a different place and time. Where crowds of hunched and oddly dressed youths would probably be train-spotters, where you could have a reign of terror on a Sunday afternoon just by riding your cast-iron scooter across the blue brick pavement, and where the height of excitement on the street was getting two Beech Nut chewing gum packets on the fourth turn of the handle.

Philip Whiteland entertains with this collection of articles presenting some keenly observed and very funny meanders through the past and present. Why not come and join him on the trip, but, whatever you do, remember to keep “Steady Past Your Granny’s” This newly updated version addresses some previously reported problems, has improved formatting and...includes pictures!,

4.0 out of 5 stars Memories 11 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this a delightful book which took me back over the years. The author recalls his childhood days as a baby boomer and what it was like for him growing up in Burton on Trent. When I had finished reading the book it stayed with me (and does still) because it had me recalling long forgotten memories of my own childhood. Times which our own children and grandchildren will never see because fear has overtaken us and we do not let them out of sight. Gone are the days of friends disappearing for the entire day with the obligatory bottle of pop and jam sandwiches, making dens in the park and living in an innocent and imaginery world where bikes and scooters became our horses for the day. So, thank you, Philip Whiteland - not only did you give me a book, you also gave me a great big pocketful of my own, long forgotten, memories. I look forward to your next book which I hope will be with us soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem! 29 July 2011

I'm well over a decade younger than the author and grew up in Canada but it's amazing how many of his stories I can completely relate to! Philip Whiteland's sense of humour and uncanny ability to see and share the ridiculous made me both chuckle and laugh out loud.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting 19 Oct 2011
By Sue
Format:Kindle Edition
Made me smile in parts as I could remember being in the same situations. The local parts were less interesting to me as I didn't know them.

A way with words, that's for sure. Very articulate with a wonderful sence of humour. Another book to buy for friends who lived in those post war years.
