Re: Back in the good old days
 

in the early 50s we lived in the Prefabs on Barden Road
all good times brought up with the best.
me Mam thought it was a good idea to keep the bed warm
by putting a small round parrafin heater of the green house type
under the bed worked a treat until our bed set on fire,good old days
we had to trek down church pushing a pram, my brothers i presume,
get it filled up at a local shop with coal brickets,and push it all the way back
but at least we kept warm:)

Ya some one told me in the footy section, the only trouble was his signature was spelt wrong too:D

Re: Back in the good old days
 

Used to live on Royds Street as a lad, and we had an old long drop (tipler) toilet then, we once had to lower a bucket down it to rescue our cat, which had fallen down there.

My Gran and Grandad also had a long drop at their house in Kay Street in Ossy. My Gran told me that one night after a "session" in the Tinker and Budget pub, my Grandad used the toilet, when he got back in the house they were having a laugh and she slapped him on the back....only to discover he had crapped on his braces!!!...urggh!
