Flat Roofs On Kenton Bar
Can anyone think of the good points about the flat roofs on kenton bar?
Here are mine:
but first, the getting up on them-we used to climb out of top back window on the split levels-as for the bungalows-we just used to run and bunk up!-the 4 bedroomed houses-access to top roof via bunking up on porch roof then bunking up to very top!
So all roofs were climbable.
1. I recall we and everyone else climbed up on the roof to see concorde come to newcastle airport once-there were hundreds of people up on the roofs!
2. Sunbathing-excellent for this purpose, as wasps etc didnt go up that high
3. Snowballs-go up on the roof when it was dark and make several snowballs( from lovely virgin snow). Next hurl snowballs rapid fire at nearby flat windows/across into other bungalow squares and listen for the....KASHTOOOMPHHH!-then-leg it back into house! Ha ha ha!

Flat roofs - what a pain eh? Always leaking, always being fixed up. The only good thing about it was the constant supply of pyramid climbing tar. I remember once someone set fire to one of the roofers gas bottles on the grassed over part in my street. The roofers used to dump a tar boiler and gas bottles all over the place. The flames were shooting out about 20 feet - firemen came and conquered......
