<p>Wheel Shunting Tapping what .... my mum said northern souler's should be unseen and unheard.</p>
<p>I have to fly as I have to help get a classic Italian scooter motor ready for a 'best of british' day here in Perth. Lots of tat plastic target decals, union flag enamel badges from Saigon and a lovely german snorkel parka from the 70s. (Gloves sewn together with knicker elastic from sleeve end to sleeve end)</p>
<p>I thought that 10 years ago it could never get worse, but as the years move on…</p>

<p>I thought that 10 years ago it could never get worse, but as the years move on the more diluted the whole soul of the mod scene diminishes. It seems to be fancy dress nights here in Perth and not a lifestyle anymore.</p>
<p>But there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Brighton 60s weekender is great and now that we are relocating to France .... here comes the nice. Pick the best and discard the numpty rest.</p>
<p>A 42 degree day here in Perth tomorrow on the Sunset coast of Western Australia. Union Jack board shorts, leopard print flip flops and 'we are the mods kiss me quick' flat caps for the northern lot.</p>
<p>Get me outa here quick!!!!</p>
<p>TTFN</p>

<p>By the way , its"Wheel Tappers & Shunters Club" aint it ? Ding ding ding ding ding ! Showing our age for sure now eh . And the old git with the flat cap or was it a comb over ? All that was missing was a Whippet and some Pidgeons . I used to be allowed to stay up late and watch it upstairs with my brother on the old black and white portable when mum and dad had company round for the night . We only watched it for the chance we might see some old bint get her…</p>

<p>And the bit about "shuffle , clap , spin , don't move your arms , repeat for the next 40 years" ? XD Spot on ! You funny f---er !

<p>Yes, I agree and most of them had the equivalent style of a modern day Vespa P Ranger !! From talking to many east enders it has become apparent that mod was a London thing, here today and gone tomorrow.</p>
<p>Everything else just became fashion thereafter. Just look at C&A and M&S soon after.... all there gear became early mod styling for the next 50+ years.</p>
<p>BTW Have I told you how much I dislike mod having any association with northern soul ;-)</p>

<p><span>Fashions came and went. The mod thing started in the 50's with college boy haircuts, brown Italian suits and white macs. <b>It was very much a London thing. Real mods never wore anoraks or had scooters with fur and loads of mirrors. That's a load of bollocks - they were way behind the times. The mod thing proper was over by 1965 whatever anyone might claim - it became fashion after that. Mod fashion was a street thing</b>. Whatever was the style there was always suits but of course lots of other stuff. There was a time when the uniform was suede or leather jackets in all colours (the good suede jackets had a leather half collar) and full length coats in the same material with white levis worn three inches above the shoe which had to be these square toed black things with a wavy sole and black socks or at a pinch dark blue. To this day I won't wear any socks bar black. We used to have our suits made at Leslie Andrews on Deptford Broadway and they cost £64 mohair or tonik which was a f*cking lot of money then.</span><br/><br/><span>People were a bit more careful. I knew blokes that carried lino knives because their thinking was that having a curved blade you could properly carve someone up but it was be very unlikely that you could stab and murder them. These days they don't give a f*ck who they kill do they.</span><br/><br/><span>It was a good time but only because it was a time of change post war with young people having money and freedom separate from their elders for the first time really in history the music was new, exciting and constantly changing.</span><br/><br/><span>The 60's were good because we were the first</span><br/><br/><span>I got married at the end of the 60's (1970) aged almost 25 and in those days that was fucking old to get married.</span><br/><br/><span>You lot got a lot more freedom today and I daresay in many ways you have a better time but you're all still c*nts</span></p>
