My mother's father was a tailor - see we are sisters  cloud9:

We weren't what I could honestly describe as poor but we weren't well of either............this was avoided by both Mum and Dad working full time (which back in the 9150's was unusual for the Mum to do) ....... some memories (good and bad'ish)

Clothes were handed down the family (and across and backwards again sometimes) and appreciated

Treats were small - but things like toblorone on a Saturday (to share between the three girls) was massive

Mum was a knitter and the worst thing she ever did was knit our school vests for the Winter - being 13 flat chested (not much changed there then before any of you boys start) and wearing an orange knitted vest at PM - still  redface: redface: redface:

Both Mum and Dad worked very hard and we were the first house on our street to have a colour TV (Granada, rented weekly, of course) and all the chaps for 20 houses around came to watch the Cup Final

Feeling proud being trusted to put the 2 bob coin in the electricity meter

I was a tomboy and had my own gang - be afraid Nick, be very afraid  eveilgrin:

Such a sad tale of deprivation, tears filled my eyes

Well they would have til the Toblerone bit.   
Well, whatever, nevermind

Grew up in Wexham (just outside of Slough, before Fenner Brockway when it wasn't a bad place to live), our family were the 4th to move onto this brand new estate. School was also brand new, it has been rebuilt twice since then & my granddaughter goes there now !
Secondary school was Slough High School for Gerls, pulled down over 30years ago to make way for a Wickes & MFI where the school buildings were & a housing estate on the playing fields.

I remember the railway lines running through Slough Trading Estate alongside the roads, funnily don't remember seeing any trains there tho. Most of the estate was manufacturing whereas its now mostly offices.
I couldn't ask for better friends. I could ask for more NORMAL friends, but not better ones.
