Alan Esdaile… my aunties ice cream shop, 1970’s.

these from my cousin – possibly late 1950’s?

Carol Ann Bolton…Flares!

Kaz Baker… more worried about the trunks

Tony Court-holmes… love the flares

Sandra Cunningham… My daughter worked there! For Joan and ???

Harry Randall… I had a pair of trunks like that but got banned from the swimming pool! Didn’t realise the “S” had fallen off the logo!

Kaz Baker… did you team them up with a pair of sandals

Dave Coleman… Remember that little shop very well

Perri Ann Haste… I used to buy a mixed cone from their with strawberry, chocolate & vanilla, he was a lovely patient man

Russell Forrest… Me too! Begged my mum for an ice cream whenever went past

Julie Findlay-Jones… My cousin bought me a silver ring from the shop with the orange canopy in the 60s still got it.

Jan Warren… Oh thats so beautiful, if only we still had those lovely little shops?! xx

Andy Qunta… Pretty sure I got ice cream from there more than once or twice!

Jacqueline Marsh… Me and my cuz Teddy White who lived behind in the Hastings Wall flats use to go to the shop there that sold Candy Floss. We would get loads of the used sugar, eat tons of it and then come out in a rash which kept us off school. Did it several times until Aunty Nell his mum realised what we had been up to! wonderful memories

Jasper Carrot De La Warr Pavilion Bexhill – 28,29 Nov 1979

Vivienne Gibbs… I remember going to this

Paul Crimin… ‘Well I like it’ said Florence, hopefully…

Kev Towner… “Florence? Drops ’em for sure” said Dougal.

Robert Carey… Was this in the main theatre does anybody know? I am sure he was at the De La Warr Pavilion at a snooker presentation night for the local Royal British Legion but cannot find anything on this.

Vivienne Gibbs… yes it was in the main theatre

Mick O’Dowd… Thank goodness he put The Magic Roundabout on the b-side of Funky Moped or we would probably not have got to hear it. That was the only reason Funky Moped was a hit at all as the BBC wouldn’t play The Magic Roundabout!

Barry French… I saw Jasper Carrot at the White Rock, cant recall the year but it was certainly mid to late 1970s. The only joke I recall was ” Flew into Lydd Airport, only Airport I’ve been to where you have to cross a cattle grid”
