Although all my Aunties and Uncles have passed away now, almost all used to give my sister and I half a crown and in later years a pound note whenever we saw them. Roll on the years, I’m now giving my great nieces and nephews £20 each, bloody good job I’m still working, I’d be skint.

I wonder where my British Airways shoulder bag circa 1976 went?We went to school with airline shoulder bags.
BEA, BOAC, Sabina, Pan Am, etc..
Now mongrels are Cockerpoos and such like.Dogs being everywhere, people just used to let them out. And they were all mongrels and would fight and form big wandering packs at some points in the year.
Woe betide us if we walked in front of our telly from 4:00pm on a Saturday afternoon when wrestling was on. My Dad would have had our guts for garters:)Going in mates houses and their mam had a POSH room
Plastic sheet on the sofa and carpet hoovered in one direction. Woe betide you if you walked in.

Same for me Norm. Opening the envelopes not knowing whether a Green one pound note or a Red 10 shilling note would fall out, either made me feel great. I too have cut back this year just a tenner in the gift wallets, feel like Scrooge. A fiver or a tenner are taken for granted these days. When I transfer my grandsons spends I upped it from a tenner to£10.25 a week, seems to be more meaningful to me. How much Chix, Bazookas, Spangles and Penny Arrow bars could you get for that.Although all my Aunties and Uncles have passed away now, almost all used to give my sister and I half a crown and in later years a pound note whenever we saw them.

For us in this end of Wythenshawe it was Rowlands bread who used to deliver in the 1960’s:)Don’t eat Rathbones bread
It’ll make you shit the bed
And blinking heck no wonder
It makes you fart like thunder
Beer at home means Davenports
That’s the beer
Lots of cheer
The finest hops with malt and yeast
Turns a snack into a feast
Straight from brewery to your home
Why collect we’ll deliver
Soon you’ll know why folks all say
Beer at home means Davenports.
