 Re: Long Drops- Tin Baths and Cast Iron Ranges.
They certainly did..and the house was always full of books......and classical music too. My father played the violin and Mum played the piano......we used to have some rousing sing-songs. Better than TV......though we did manage to rent one of those to see the Coronation.
My Dad made us all get dressed in our best clothes, and it was a very solemn occasion......all viewed on a 9 inch Bush.
We were even allowed a 'damp glass' of wine afterwards to toast the health of the new monarch.......I didn't like mine and poured it into the piano.....which is why a number of the keys used to stick(I have never admitted to that misdemeanor before...but I reckon I am too big to be slapped now) |
