And at Christmas time the Salvation Army band came around and played Christmas carols out on the street.

Tara, Did you ever see other women scrubbing their doorstep? The ones l remember doing it wore crossover pinafores with a headscarf tied up at the front on their head!

UJ, I had never heard of ‘black leading’ either. What a chore!

My Gran had a kitchen range, much like those in the pictures and used to black lead hers regularly until well into her 80s.

In my 20s I lived in a flat which had a real fireplace...it was a chore maintaining and cleaning it but I love a real fire.

I'm not saying anyone is dressing wrong; it's just part of a general trend - people dress far more casually these days and clothes are more disposable.
