You knew you were growing up when you sat in the chair at Sid Barret's hairdresser on Breach Road Marlpool. Then Sid would ask if sir would like a round or square neck. Pure magic to hear those words. Any one else care to add one to this thread.

It was even more magical to hear the barber ask 'Anything for the weekend sir?' That was a real rite of passage.

Not quite in the same league, but being able to walk to school on your own.

It gave you that grown-up, amazing sense of freedom never had before.

Being given a Stratton powder compact heralded my adult status ..... but the real rite of passage was the gift of a Ronson Milady cigarette lighter!

At Langley Baths, if you couldn't dive off the high wall into the shallow pool, you were a real cissy. Mind you that was a "chucking out" offence if Mr Evans caught you
