Remember the thrill of getting your pay packet.

Payslip 1970

Twelve pounds sixteen shillings and ten pence.

Were you one of those babies ? Jackson's, King Street

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 .

N.B. Cools, everyone had a Silver Cross pram too !!

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.

Yes me too Star, loved walking and shopping with it so much room underneath to put shopping. Babes looked so comfy in them too .

Better than the modern prams,room for the baby to lie down flat on their back.I used to have shopping in the pram,under the pram & hanging off the handles

[youtube]7WlSKa-XSpQ[/youtube] but how many of us have been guilty of this.

Guilty ! Only once.
Worse was, I tied my dog to the pram , outside a shop. Only once !

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!

used to do it with the buggy,was fine till the child got out despite being told not to & the buggy tipped up with the shopping

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.

Aaah the power strikes, drinking pints by candlelight in the Lord Napier in Rock Ferry with Mrs Beethoven by my side, who says I'm not romantic?

Oh Yeh ! And a few early nights thrown in.
