ouch

This is brother Jeff getting tatooed in Southsea back in 1985. He was needlephobic but still had it done. This seemed to be an almost weekly trip with Jeff, my sister and various future in-laws etc getting tatooed all the time. I of course am totally terrified of anything like this so never got a tattoo though I'm told my regular 3 monthly B12 jabs are just as bad!

Eltham 1985

(13.2.1985)

From 1984 to 1988 I had a great job driving around Great Britain and being paid for it, so I got to visit lots of places at somebody else's expense. I took a lot of railway pictures of course and a lot of landscapes and only occasionally took this sort of social history street scene.

This is Eltham in South East London, famous for Boy George and the Stephen Lawrence murder, on a very cold day in 1985 with snow on the ground. Some nice cars date the picture.
