Shared bin ole, outside toilet, coal ole. Back in the early 60's we had our coal delivered by the Salmons (sorry can't remember the 1st names) and we could only afford 3 sacks so my Mum who was at work told me to count the bags to make sure it was the right amount, yea right, 8 year old telling a big dirty coalman he has miss-counted!!!! Never happened, we did always get the right amount mind!
