I'll refer to the decently dressed bit.
When I was 5, I was certainly a trend setter.Mrs Highams(Of Highams Mills) used to leave remnants of cloth at my grans house were I lived with 6 others.
Gran was a weaver at the mill.
Have you any idea how embarrassed I was going to school in striped shorts made from bed sheeting.
