[Margaret Pilkington]

I used to go to my Gran's in Sheffield for the school hols.....we would go down to Melbourne St to catch the Manchester bus well too early....Gran would leave me at the bus stop with the bags and nip into the Old House at Home for a pint of mild. I was always told not to tell my mum about this little trick of hers....my reward...half a crown bribery money.
Gran used to say that the mild was good for her kidneys....well it must have been because she was always busting for a P when we got to the bus station at Manchester!
