[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, I remember then too, and you are spot on Margaret, with why they were called AntiMaccassars.
We just called them Chair back covers and my grandma used to crochet her chair back covers.......grandad used to fall asleep in the chair and then walk around with his bald head the same pattern as the covers.......he didn't need the back of his chair protecting...he had no hair(to speak of).......Uncle Harry(his son) had thick dark wavy hair which he would slick down with Brilliantine......a colourless oily liquid that made his hair shine........he was in the RAF........an original Brylcreem boy(except it was Brilliantine).
