Up on the roof

Ahhh, Kenton Bar!...Ahhh the flat roofs!...wonderful things!...
(play the song and read on...)
useful for:
a)Sunbathing on(no wasps or bees to bother you)
b)Plodging in pools on(the garage ones when the drains were blocked)
c)Making snowmen on/hurling snowballs from(crisp clean virgin snow(no dog urine to fear getting on rookers(hands)
d) Watching Concord land at Newcastle Airport for the first time ever(in the 80's?)-hundreds of people up on the roofs that day...
e)Secretly sneaking into your mates room in the T1's...
g)Playing duffs on(garage leap)
h) Escaping the wrath of your mother (by leaping from the binshed wall to bungalow one in my case...
i) Never getting caught in fox and hounds(though this was a dirty illegal tactic and there was the danger of being spotted doing this via Ryal Walk-woa betide you if you did this, as you would be hunted down by the angry furious foxes and beaten to a pulp and deservidly so-no roofs and no going across Hazeldene Ave Road nor onto Kenton School Fields nor over border into Kenton being the sacrosanct rule of the game...
j)Putting up CB arials onto easily for better reception...
k)Rushing up on(bungalow) when the news that the Blakelaw/Newbiggin had taken the plateau..for the first time ever, never again to be repeated...
l)Pouring ice cold water down onto your mate who was sunbathing in his garden ha ha ha!(T1's)
any others ones oh my brothers?
