A shadow of it's former self , that market has gone , Commercial Rd is a Ghost town now. You'd think you were in run down part of London , nail bars , phone shops and kebab shops are the only thing making money. Eastney museum home of the Royal Marines has even been moved and the barrcks sold off. My home town ruined.

No Tricorn, no Landports or Woolworths or the joke shop up by the big Post Office, no funfair... There wasn't even any washing up liquid foam in the fountain. Not the Pompey I remember from the early eighties

I shoplifted so much gear from Landports as a kid, that i got a lifetime ban from their store. Good times.

"This street was named after a ship! The ship is called the Mary Rose. 450 years ago it sank at Spit head..." Today it has been spat back from the depths, "So let's look at Portsmouth." "50 years ago Portsmouth looked like this, 40 years ago 1,320 high explosives, 39,000 incendiaries, and 39 mines were dropped on her..." <Que the up-beat music> Well done Gerry, what an improvement! Telly puts his professional heart and soul in to his work once more!

Having been born and bred in Pompey, I moved away at the first opportunity. The film neatly avoids areas like Fratton, Stamshaw, Paulsgrove to name but a few. Poor old Telly Saliva must have been desperate for work; and on the rare occasion when I have to go back I still hear his dulcet tones, and it makes me laugh. Pompey was, and always will be a shit hole.

I used to know Jon Isherwood back in Portsmouth between the late '60's until around 1990, when he moved to Ireland. I moved over to Ireland in 2006, but sadly Jon had died by then.... What a character that man was. An excellent promoter, I started promoting in 2000, he was a major inspiration to me!!!!
