When my dad and his brother were kids they were thrown out of the picture hall for loosening the screws in the backs of the seats. In revenge they went and got a load of veg which was stacked outside the greengrocer and rolled them down the roof so no-one could hear the picture :D

Was there a pit at Red Row
