For all that I wouldn't have changed it, even for just the memories we have today. I can't imagine what someone who never sailed the seven seas have memories of, I can see what mine would have been, countless sheets of tinplate going through rollers LoL.

She maybe could have taught you to play the piano and give out the cash when Wilfred got round to it.? You could have been a celebrity.Cheers JS

One of my cousins used to make Christal sets , you know with cats whiskers during the war. We even made gunpowder with articles bought from the chemist , saltpetre , sulphur, and charcoal which used to make oneself. If you couldn’t afford toilet rolls used to,knock on someone’s door and ask if could have the cardboard left when the roll finished., Used to pack this with the ingredients ,block the ends insert a piece of string for a fuse and heyho,had a homemade banger., JS drop it behind someone with constipation it used to work wonders JS
