The auld fella used to sell turnips to them. Dessie Darrer lived just down the road from us. I still call that car park at the back of the Book Centre ā€œthe back of Darrersā€

It was the el cheapo version of Quinnsworth, Superprices or some shite. I should remember as I used to work there when I was in college.

There you go, thereā€™s my childhood. I loved Wanderly Wagon. The oul boy took us to Eugene Lamberts puppet theatre one time when I was about 6, it was the best gig I had been to until the Eurythmics in the Point in 1988.

This is burned into my brain and I have to say that about 40 years after I learned it, I have never been knocked down by a car.

Did wanderly wagon ever actually finish?
I grew out of it when there were still about 875 pieces of jigsaw to go.

Iā€™m not sure it finished properly as such.
I think this was the spin off show

Nope, but I could never run fast enough to properly test them out
