I'm sure we used to refer to each other as mates when I was at school. In fact, one of my 'mates' back in the infants at Hackbridge is still a good mate of mine now over 65 years later. I moved house 10 years ago and have accumulated a new bunch of mates here to add to those I've acquired over the years. One pet hate of mine though, are over familiar shop assistants who I don't know from Adam and who greet me as 'mate' as if I was their long lost chum (mate) and who ask 'Are you alright there?' So, there you are mate, I've responded to your post and managed to get in an old geezer's whinge at the same time.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

The question about the weekend didn't arise due to my youthful and inexperienced appearance.

Yup you are correct mates are mates from kids but it was more when adults turn into mates. Even 50 and 60 year olds when you are just a slip of a lad.

I’m very close to where you live and chances are if you’ve visited my place of work and have been wearing anything Palace related I’ve probably called you mate.
