Torry youth of the forties and fifties. Gym shoes in the summer - TopicsExpress



          

Torry youth of the forties and fifties. Gym shoes in the summer wellies in the winter. Staple food was fish or porridge and an occasional treat. On the clothes hooks in the lobby were numerous overcoats, very seldom used, apart from winter and then they were used as blankets on our beds. my mother pouring water on the coal fire, so that there was something for heat the next day. Going to the toilet at night, bare feet on cold lino. The question is, were we deprived and my answer is no. Everyone was on the same boat. We took it as normal and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Its just a pity that the kids today have no idea what there parents/grandparents went thro, but memories are a wonderful.
