I, personally, don't know any chaps who make their own frocks, Beekay.

That's one of the many things I admire about you sir.

Alas, this is a sign of the times. We were on a lake cruise on Windermere and there were three girls sat beside us. A beautiful sunny day but none of them looked up from their mobiles. They never bothered checking out the scenery.

But a female lady who sews frocks is still called a 'Seamstress'.

I bet the cow was'nt too impressed either. Losing one of your heels is not one of lifes jollities.

Nah Ian, he's probably more likely to have the carrier bike, with the basket on the front, for carrying the ironing.

Trogg, if thah reads this drivel, I'm more than happy to bring me Airfryers and help with ironing and cooking chips and stuff. Best wishes to Mrs. Trogg.

You mean you don't give em a free rub down and massage?
I would have thought you could lay on sunloungers for them to relax on Oz.

Sounds like youv'e earned your 'Good Deeds' badge for this month Rog. You can open a Bee rescucitation hospital, for wayward migrant bees. You might even get a grant from the council.

Thing is, it were'nt just school. I had three brothers ( God rest em) and as a nipper it was a case of 'First down, best dressed'. Re school though, must admit, I had no regrets.

At Radford Boulevard school, in the 50s it simply a case of "Survival Of The Fittest". You battled through the best you could. It was not only some Sadist teachers but also older pupils in classes above you. The suffering age was 11 to 14

@Jill Sparrow, I see your'e talking about me again.

When we were nippers, always on the scrounge, one of the favourite scrumping places was a posh garden on the Ropewalk, Nottm. It was a plum tree and they were succulent fruits ! Three of us went up there with our bags but, not paying attention, we got caught. The owner wanted to call the police but his wife said, "No, if they like picking fruit, make them pick the rest for us". Which we thought was a let off from the law. So we stuck in, climbing all over the tree and picked the ripe fruit. The owner was so impressed and pleased with us that he gave us half crown each.
The only time I ever knew that crime did pay. That were back in 1955 ish.

But for some, more miles than others.

Might not have been Richard. Like I said, was'nt sure. Of course I'm talking about the early to mid 50s. Iv'e done a bit of mileage since then.
-
@Jill Sparrow, had a look myself, but it's not the same person.
Had a read through to page 14 then stopped. Did'nt recognise any names.
-
The name Richard keeps ruuning through my mind Jill, but I would'nt swear to it. As stated, Iv'e been wrong afore.x

A great day y'all...

There used to be a bakers, near the top of Boden street that, not only sold potted meat but Salmon paste as well. These were scooped out of a dish with a flat knife and put on to paper then placed onto scales to weigh your quarter, (4.oz). If underweight, another scoop added. This bakery also sold cakes and my absolute favourite was 'Nelson Squares', the filling I was led to believe was made using stale cake. But they were a delight with custard ! I used to go to school with the lad who lived there. ( I'm pretty sure his name was Hurd or Hird) But Iv'e been known to be wrong.
How's your day?
in Owt' Abaaht Nowt !
