Remember going to the cinema watching the King and I and Dad used to carry me home on his shoulders.
One person remembered working in a shop from the age of 12.
We would go hop picking in Kent from London and that was a week’s holiday for us.
I remember sweet rationing finishing on a Sunday because I was part of a cycle club and at the end of the ride we descended on a sweet shop and cleared out the shelves!
We didn’t have a fridge – you had a pantry with a cold slab.
You’d use Reckitts Blue Dye to make your clothes white.
We always used A1 powder for washing – we never used anything else.
Mum was really excited about getting her first washing machine – in fact she wouldn’t use it at first!.
We’d get saving stamps from the Post Office with
6d – Prince Charles on
3d – Princess Anne
