Just thinking of the trams in Mike’s photo. For the first 2 years at secondary school I used to catch the trams (two to get to school and two to get home). One day a week I had to take my drawing board to school; crazy when you are 11 years old and 4 ft nothing! They could beat the replacement buses up the hills. On the tram trip to the school fields all of us on the upper deck used to swap the pivoting seats so they pointed in the wrong direction and then as we alighted we all trod on the tram warning bell except on one occasion when the conductor put his foot over it only to get his foot trampled on. Excuse my sad remeniscing!
