Yeah, thats right.....but they also made lots of other household utensils....dish drainers, kebab skewers...all sorts of things.

It was a big factory complex....they had one building where the air conditioning "system" was a World War 1 aircraft propeller in a hole high up in the wall....and the maintainance men worked from wooden sheds in the middle of the factory - they'd once been used by injured soldiers from WW1...they also had their own firebrigade (a land-rover was the fire engine).

Aye, we made things then...
