No electricity until 1957 in our council house in Berkshire. The rebate was the same. Straight out of the coin box. Manner from Heaven. My grand father had a gas meter in his front room and you put one of the old pennies in it ( later updated to the smaller 5p ones ) , you put the penny in and wound the dial on the front around until it dropped to the bottom , how long it lasted for ? , that I couldn't tell you. Also in his little front room was a stuffed Gannet set up in a glass box with a sea scene in the back ground , he was a cook on the Herring drifters and I believe it came to grief diving in the nets after the Herring . rummon how you can remember these little things and then forget your wife's birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I only live here. I have no relatives born north of the Thames Valley. Lived here 40 years though so some of the localisms must have rubbed off. Like - Tomorrow I am going to the Boxing Day local shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
