My ole man was filling up his car on Rose Lane the same time as the Beatles were filling their van up, and Paul McCartney asked him where he managed to get his jeans, which were as rare as rocking horse 💩 at the time
Nice one John, put a smile on my face, at the end. As always looking forward to the next video. By the way you could join the Ed Sheeran and Beatles stories and have Fool on the Hill.
@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich - I know!!! I believe we're playing them in September. I used to work at Carrow Road as a wine waiter and when Ipswich came there to play they would quite literally smash the toilets at half-time. Broken sinks, smashed urinals, the lot. Football supporting gone too far, methinks.
@@adrianrutterford762 I tried to base it around one or two facts - and "The Canaries" was actually the number 1 single in Jarrolds! Sadly their record department is long gone...
Haha very good. I was with you up until the Ed Sheeran bit. By the way I am told that Status Quo based ‘Down down deeper and down’ on the canaries shortcomings.
You forgot that Led Zeppelin based their song ‘Stairway to Heaven’ after their experience of climbing the steps of the old Barclay Stand at Carrow Road ⚽️💛💚⚽️
Brilliant... very funny john 😂😂 wish I'd fell for it on the day... and not 3 days later😅
Till the next one...
Thanks Kelvin. Glad you were "got"!
Loved the video as always
Thanks very much Thom.
Superb investigation and round-up. Now just wait for some or all of these fascinating long-lost stories to be quoted, somewhere or the other.
Well, you never know!

Fantastic story, thank you.👌
Whatever it is I’m looking forward to it already
I hope it's worth waiting for!
Ha ha 😂
You completely had me fooled there. Very good but I did feel like a twonk when the April Fools appeared. 🤣👍
Thank you, and thanks for admitting you were "got"!
Yep had me too but I have only just watched it. Late to the party

Ah very good, I like that!
This was fun...and very creative!
Thank you, I enjoyed doing it!
Oh wow! Really looking forward to this one! 🤗🎶
Could be a late night for you!
@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich I think, finally, the penny has dropped! 😂😂
@@The_Brit_Girls oooh, that took a while....
Perennial league one also-rans!!! Subtle and hilarious.
sadly no longer the case!

@@hetaera3418 that's not good to hear, let's hope fans will behave this time around
Setting up for April fools day already 😂
I'm saying nothing....
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful Thanks
Thanks for watching!

It all sounds so plausible.
Especially the one about Jarrold’s record department.
👍👍

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich
I can remember going in there, and I believe you said that you’d worked there.
@@adrianrutterford762 you have a good memory, I did indeed say that!
Hi john loving these videos. I wonder if you've got anything coming up about norwich lads club 60's 70's videos, photos etc.
Thanks for getting in touch. There is a little bit about the Lads Club in this video. ruclips.net/video/QllWNFhcjJM/видео.html
Got me 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Brave to admit it! Thank you.
Oh John this still got me! Should have read comments first! 😂😂
Thanks for the "admission" - glad it gotcha!
Also are you 100% sure that Ed sheeran is talking about norwich Castle as I'm pretty sure that song was about Framlingham Castle
That, I'm afraid, was the April Fool's day joke!
Haha very good. I was with you up until the Ed Sheeran bit. By the way I am told that Status Quo based ‘Down down deeper and down’ on the canaries shortcomings.
Ah yes, of course!
The suspense is killing me 😂😂😂
meeetoo!
Maybe along the same lines you could do a video from when Monty Python filmed in the city?
That's an interesting subject. Thank you.
I went to school with Norman Castle
Brilliant🤣
You forgot that Led Zeppelin based their song ‘Stairway to Heaven’ after their experience of climbing the steps of the old Barclay Stand at Carrow Road ⚽️💛💚⚽️
I thought that was Road to Hell!
Every other season! And what about Jimi Hendrix writing ‘Purple Haze’ after an ultra-violet lit, smoked filled gig at The Orford Cellar?
@@martinthirkettle599 yes indeed, every other season.....I'm sure we can come up with many others 🤣
I’ll sort out a list for Monday😂😂😂
@@martinthirkettle599 I thought you might take the hint!
Is this where John makes a claim that Allan Smethurst had Norwich connections?
Who knows...
Another ‘Old Boy’ from my school but not quite as famous as Nelson!
@@martinthirkettle599 really? I had no idea. Explains a lot 😂
Well he did perform at The Old Barge Folk Club in King Street which I ran with Martin Read in 1968
@@theoloyla fantastic additional detail, thank you.
Joke ?
You could call it that!
