Re: The Good Old Days ...
Like every generation there was good & bad we mostly look back with nostalgia.I wonder what todays children will look back on with nostalgia?. We lived in a flat,it had running hot&cold water separate bathroom & loo,but when I was 12 my parents moved to a house ,as Dad wanted a garden,It must have been hard for my Mum,no running hot water,all hot water had to be boiled on the stove,for a bath we had to heat the water upin a big boiler,then pump it through pipes at the top of the kitchen wall to the bathroom next door,when we moved in the boiler was heated with wood & coke but Dad got a gas boiler put in.As for food Mum baked her own bread& cakes, we had a roast on Sunday ,cold meat & chips on Monday,Tuesday either meat pie or stew with the remaining bits,'dinner was mid day ,except for Dad who had his evening after work,bread & jam with a cake & cup of tea in the evening, a milky drink i.e Ovaltine at bedtime,Poridge for breakfastRe: The Good Old Days ...
