Love the prams Granny and the way you could leave babies outside shop without fear, and outside your house to get fresh air, different now you can't let them out of your sight .

I had a silver cross pram,mine was a bit more modern.Still had the hard body but the wheels were all the same size,loved that pram could walk for miles with it but the body came off the chassis so I could put it in the car.

Love the signs in the windows "Girdles £4/6D".
Friend used to have a ladies underwear store in the market--may have sold mens as well. Didn't do him any good though--he is still single at 70.. Wanted to marry all his life-doesn't realise he couldn't have done half the things he has done in life when shackled!

Power strikes

24th January 1974, 81% of NUM members voted to strike

January to March. (Winter months, of course) Worked by candle light, tele closed down early. At least we had coal fires with back boiler, so we had hot water to get washed with.
