Amble Greasy Pole (70s?)
held on the little shore. Health and safety right out the window
back then!
Anyway, groups of men dressed in women’s clothing would attempt to
climb this telegraph pole coated in axle grease after a pub crawl of
all the pubs in the town – climbers the worse for wear would often
be delivered to the base of the pole in a wheelbarrow by their mates
– then the fun would really begin! |
