I started school when I was 4 and my Mum and Dad used to take me to Moffatt's on Church Street for my school socks. That was the first place I wanted to work. They used to send the money across to the cash desk in a container, on a cable I think, and the change came back. I think they used to show similar on "Are you Being Served?" Other than that, I was fascinated by the steam engines. I used to walk from Oswaldtwistle to Accrington with my Dad on a Saturday afternoon. When we got to Charter Street he used to lift me up to look over the "big wall" at the steam engines in the railway sidings. When we got to Broadway we used to go on a little roundabout at the market and listen to Uncle Dick selling his wares - he certainly had the gift of the gab!
