Hi brenda happy new year to you
yes you are quite correct the kids of aston always had a tin bath unless you was one of the posh kid of aston but on the whole we alll had a tin bath in front of the fire and the ketle and saucepans boiling the hot water constantly on the black coal fire grate with swinging hooks and whilst waiting doing toast on a wire fork and banking up the fire
with coal slack to keeping it nice and warm whilst one by one we all had a bath in front of the fire watching the twelve inch black and white tv whilst the posh familys had there colour tvs and the old lady giving us our cod liver oil
we all moaned about swollowing it they would hold your nose to swollow it and amidst that watching muffin the mule
and when all done march you up the apple and pairs all clean and dusted by having derbac in your hair so you would be cleaned for nitty nora from albert rd clinic came to the school of upper thomas street
after her visits on monday morning a couple of days later she would come back with a bag full of brown envelopes for half of thomas street school the teacher fairly never left any one out of the class unless he was one of the posh kids
which was very few the teacher must have had aqbout fifty letters to hand out
she always picked on large familys cor blimey those were the days brenda especialy just after the war years
have a nice day best wishes astonion
