Well, there you go. I was born in Belfast, in the Shore Road area just over 63 years ago. Have I understood your post right and you're a Belfast boy too?

Take care and stay safe Jim

Yes Jim, I know The Pass well. There's still a lot of Chinese there and there's also a Chinese cash and carry with lots of interesting things for sale. Nowadays all through Belfast there are different nationalities with a Belfast accent so it's not so unusual now.

I'm sure you'll remember at the Shaftesbury Square end of the road there was a traffic warden directing traffic and he had a nightmare of a job trying to keep the traffic flowing. There are traffic lights there now that are doing a good job.

You left the area and missed the height of the troubles Jim and didn't have to go through that time. In 1972 I was 14 and still at school then. Best days of my life? Not sure about that.

Take care and stay safe Jim.
