Yeh I remember my dad putting tomatoes on the windowsill to ripen. We had eggs in a big bucket too with water in and I think something called water glass. No fridges them days just a cupboard with a mesh on the door which stood in the back pantry .There were 2 stone slabs either side too which milk bottles stood on. What about top and whip with chalk patterns on the top. I loved that game. The flags were good for playing hop scotch with numbers chalked on them. No nasty tarmac pavements then. My Grans back street had gas tar bubbles which I loved popping in the summer. I have had many a smack for getting in on my white ankle socks or frock. If I remember right lard was used to get it off. None of our parents had much but most of us had a lovely childhood and todays kids really don't know what they are missing.
