Fifty Years Ago Part Thirteen

 Unlucky for some.

I have heard of but have no memory of watching Star Maidens... Neil was one of my best friends back then. We played Starsky and Hutch and Hulk, built camps in the garden in the summer holidays and later played our Adam And The Ants singles to death. I snapped my copy of Antmusic at his house by sitting on it, what a muppet. I replaced it in the early 90s. He had the coolest room in our street with loads of giant film and TV posters and the centre spreads from Look-in wallpapered onto the walls. I'd love to get back in touch with him but there's no sign of him on any social media. He had an older brother and younger sister, Katy and Iain, but no sign of them either. This isn't a dox as they are long gone from the road where we grew up, but if anyone knows where Neil Blackman who lived in Tockley Road, Burnham in the 70s and 80s, or his brother or sister I'd love to catch up, if only to see that he's having a good life.   

NEXT WEEK- PART FOURTEEN
