Times were happier but we didnt have the things we have now like inside toilets,adn living near the docks there was a lot of bombed out houses around,we made good use of these as kids do.But everyone was quite poor and life was hard for a lot of people,but I dont think they moaned as much as we do.

Seems I have had an idle childhood, I was only asked to prepare the veggies and fruits for being conserved during my summer holidays. When I was older I worked in a factory during the holidays to earn some money for a bike or dancing lessons, for instance.
