Mum used to make us bubble and squeak, bread and dripping on thick slabs of home baked bread, apple pie to die for. I remember gas lights at home too - I must have been very small, they had a very delicate white mantle, trolley buses, the tally man coming once a week, the coal man with his sacks of coal on a horse and cart, he would empty into the coal hole outside the front door. Mum took me to see the original 'FLY' movie, we laughed a lot. Sundays 'Listen with Mother' 'The Goon Show' on the radio. No bathroom (tin bath put before the fire and filled) toilet down the end of the garden with torn up newspapers on a piece of string.......... |
