When I was old enough my job was chopping enough firewood for the week every Sat morning, then I had to go to Grandads and get his weekly shopping, and make sure they coupons wer'nt fiddled, for that I got 6d per week.

If I wanted any more I had to earn it, so I helped the caretaker at Hargreaves St school, cleaning out the boilers and shoving the coke down the shute, for that I got 3d. Treated myself to the Bug Hut every Sat afternoon, Roy Rogers, Flash Gordon, Bill Boyd, Harold Loyd, Laurel & Hardy, Lon Channey. All enjoyed wi a penorth o bits from Toffee Lythe off Plantation St.
