I was there that day aged 11, on a day out. It was the last year me & my mum ever went anywhere together. Weston had been a fab place until that day. Shame t had to happen.
Does anyone know my dad? He was a Nailsea lad but well known in weston. He unfortunately passed away last year mark chidzey.... I'd love to hear more stories 😂❤
These goons had a big hand in making Weston Super Mare what it is today. As a kid, My parents took us to Weston on sunny Sundays and Bank holidays. That was until we come across these pillocks who scared us all shitless, running through stamping on our sandcastles, kicking our picnic in the sand. Oh the bravery of forty Skinheads against a family of four! We never went down there again, neither did many more, and at a time when the English seaside suddenly had to compete with cheap holidays to Majorca and Benidorm! When we got a bit older my brother and I would go down to the Long Ashton By-Pass and cheer on the Hells Angers (probably just Bristol Greasers) who would ride down to Weston to teach these thugs a little respect. Rumour had it that the Skinheads would run back into Bournville like rabbits into their warrens.
By marriage I'm related to the historical pre Weston-Super-Mare family, the Counsel Family, when I was a kid in the 80s summer holidays Charlie would take me on the Horse and Cart down to where he worked on the Donkeys... Charlie actually lied about his age 15 years old enlisted to fight in WW2 and fought in Burma, he only ever spoke good things of the Ghurka, wellz Charlie, humble hard working man, looked after my Granny greatly, gently chap, and he was a bricky, he actually built a lot of houses around the town, he even with my dad built our garage at our House in Milton, my Mum and Dad both grew up not rich and earnt to buy our home, and, those that destroyed the town, where also behind a lot of loss in our family, and have got away with it to date.
I am from Weston but escaped 30 years ago to live in sunny Hong Kong. This video brought back some good/bad memories. Thanks for the upload.
