Yes Tal, I was a bit norty.......and I don't think my ma ever cottoned on because she said she was going to stop buy vinegar by the pint as she thought that Mrs Jones was watering it down! (hehe, and it was ME all along).
Did you ever go for a warm by the big boiler of the velvet factory on Victoria Street.?....you could stand at the door and watch the boilerman sweat his proverbials off....and the heat radiated to the street.
