I stumbled upon these interesting photos of Kampala in those days of our grandfathers. I'm young like that, unlike some of you who were in P6 already by 1960. Of course
Baz I'm not talking about you. You are like us the youth of today (that is just a saying, not the title of that 1980s song by Musical Youth. Which I heard on the radio of course) and your latest Bad Idea had me in stitches.
Right, let's play a little game and see how many of us can identify which places are featured in the photos.
Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Number 4

Over to you Baz.
If you look closely in the middle distance of picture 2, you can see me and my cousin Posi.
@Baz, hope you are the guys on the bikes, otherwise I'd hate to think you be the guy on the left with the 'designer' shorts and torn jacket. ;-)
@Jny23 and cheri, your answers have been admitted to the vetting committee. You will know the results in a few.
Still@cheri, remember words like Zinjanthropus? And didn't I say we were not talking about Baz. Silly child.
@the rising page, that's so hillarious. Nice try.
@Tandra, you are too clever.For that you will get a big 0 with pussycat ears and tail.

@DMX, you should have got top marks but technically you cheated!!!
@the rest who came after DMX, bambi you are very holy. Even after he dropped - no, poured - hints about the locations you kept your cool.
Photo 2 is the railway crossing at Wankoko near the sewerage plant.
@Iwaya, I will post the address soon.
first of all surely this was precolonial kampala? second, just please be kind enough and tell me where. i can not be bothered to think hard!
@Antipop, dearie, Precolonial photos would be of reed and grass-thatched mansions.
But the answers are in DMX's comment and my previous comment.
