May 1985......I was 11 years old.......pretty sure Howard Jones was in the top ten at this time as well.....I also had a collection of Hula Hoop (crisps) watches - three of them in different colours - the number of Hula Hoops I had to eat to get the watches was crazy.....(had to send in a certain amount of packets per watch) but I was a fat little basin haircut headed b*stard that loved collecting watches anyway so it was a pleasure eating those crisps. Times have moved on in many ways, for good or bad.  |

Nice find. Thanks for sharing.
I've have two out of the three in the stable. A cx and a couple of ceebees.
Love them all dearly.

Do you think the traffic warden booked all three bikes in the end? Or was she just admiring the Superdream?

I tried to find out where the headline photo was taken but failed. Shopfront says "R. & J. BERESFORD" with a phone number of 671300, and street number 101A. I looked on streets in Googlemaps for Brighton and Croydon as these places were mentioned in the article.
Anybody have any ideas- look local to anybody?

I'd like to go back there for a week or so.....I bet that secondhand shop has a least a few chunky LED digital watches available.

Found it! They rode the 3 bikes down to Brighton- the CX500 came from a Brighton dealer. They took the photo outside 101A Gloucester Road, Brighton. If you imagine in the present day photo the SD front wheel parked over the drain cover still there- as are the double yellow lines!....   |
