Came across this old photo (though not as old as the section's heading implies!) - no idea who it could be - though it's local - taken at Edgar & Co, South Lowestoft.

PS I think the subject's mucky-looking knees and hands are due to muckiness on the surface of the photo rather them being actually mucky! :D

This picture was taken I think about the same time as the one above from Trigger... just over ninety years ago :lol: , it shows my mother on the right and her sister on the left and their Aunt Cass in the middle, the old lady in the background is my mother's grandmother.

Much more recent than the ninety-year-old pictures above, but no prizes for guessing who the bonnie baby is. :D

Thank you Trigger, and I still look as young. :lol:
Now how about an avatar from you so we can make the comparison with your picture above. ;)

Still looking so young must be down to the slathering on Baby Oil plus a good sprinkling of Baby's Bum Powder over the years! :P

This afternoon there have been two police patrol cars going backwards and forwards along our (quiet) road for about 30 minutes or so and have, between them, made about 12 passes. I was considering going outside and stopping one of them and showing them your picture Trigger and asking them if it was you they were looking for. :lol:

Do you really mean Brixham and not Brixton? Do they have a prison there?
