[Being left handed]

cant`t use my right hand or foot for love or money.... it annoys me when the computer mouse is situated on the right all the time , eg in libaries, airports etc , i have to unravel the lead to get it to the left, also signing in places at receptions . again on the right , i have to rearrange it so i can sign in , didn`t Hinder me in the least being a clever so and so lol

[St Ann's Documentary 1969.]

i watched the documentry yesterday, and to be honest some things on there did ring home . such as the outside toilet at the bottom of the yard . its was horrible cold, damp , spiders etc , in the winter the water was frozen , and the heating was non existant apart from the massive fire place in the front room , which i enjoyed watching burn every night , the tin bath was our only means of bathing in front of the fire, was freezing when we got out , then the sparks out the fire used to jump out at you ! was proberly the same for everyone else that lived in the old St Anns, we weren`t that poor as the programme portrayed i believe , we didnt starve and we were happy , my dad worked away alot, and my mum did the lace work which we used to help with , she used to weave wool between our hands with us arms held out , got a bit tiring after abit ! suppose when you grew up in them conditions you didn`t know any better, personally i loved living there, got some really happy memories growing up in the old st anns....
