Well that accounts for my friend's mum, I wonder what her dad was in ?

I was allowed a handful of toys to take on holiday, the ones with names, that fitted in my little suitcase, I sat on to squash the soft toys in. Now our grandchildren bring packing cases full.

I would have loved that, the animals were Britains so maybe the farm was . The boy next door had a hay barn & a conveyor belt for grain sacks he powered turning a handle. When we got home from our holidays I would check on my farm, & other toys.

My thumb won't work. I am giving you a thumb.Was this the same as the A.T.S. or have I got it wrong. ? My friend's parents met in the A.T.S. I thought it was. They wore uniforms .

They were red 'eggs'! I was given some very old wooden children's dominoes, i thought tgey looked like Cotswold stone . I used them as brick shelters in my model farm. I still have them. I don't see many toy farms these days but they still sell them in France.

I REMEMBER OY I remember our caravan holiday in Dawlish or Dawlish Warren, we always rented the same caravan. It was white , I even remember the number.The site had putting, and a tennis court and lots of grass. A river ran through with ducks on it and it flooded. I paddled up to my knees...

That's a good photo. I think my quest (No57) may not have been a shop after all in 1920. A possibility is wasn't.

Ha great I can look for photos if it. Thank you.

We used to have an older conductor who shouted the pubs' nicknames here, like The Bolshy, Ma Cooper's Ma Brown's, The Fleapit cinema, The Cabbage Club etc

Yes they sure did. My Nan said the bus conductors shouted the names out as there was always one by a bus stop. e.g. The Old Cat yer mother in law ! whilst being on the bus,with hers, who had a go at the conductor, to then young Nan's embarrassment, her mother in law was true to her description!

They had wonderful names then and so of their time. Now we have or had, Prague, Dogma, Enigma, Jumping Jacks, Inspire, The Aardvark, etc. If they are still there as they change and disappear, there used to be the Leg and Cramp & the Dog and Trumpet. That's gone.

We have a family joke that my half sister and I are Irish twins. We are not but we are nearly 7 months apart. I don't think there is a name for us except lucky.:laughing:
