Re:
Jay thank you, it does not seem so dark now. The outdoor lighting sees to that, but you are right we do get moody grey skies and suddenly sunshine. It did seem much darker when I was young and winter seemed the last a long time.

Pat I suppose we just adapted to what came our way, but most seem to have a job of some sort, not many other ways of making a few halfpence. I remember a lady telling me she had £.50 pension a week as her husband had not paid contributions, fortunately she had two unmarried sons living with her.

Re: CCT
Naut .fog used to be a killer. I don't think there is much coal burned now as most places are smokeless zones , so one improvement at least. My dad had a terrible job driving home during the war as one had to cover van lights with black tape it was a job to see when dark but when foggy weather had to put one's head out of the window. A good job they were not many vehicles around and most that were pulled into the side to let the other person go by.

Kabu there was a kind of innocence but I am afraid it has gone now. I expect you could get your cold coke no problem, these days.

Re:
Sam, it is hard to imagine that this little shop on wheels was looked forward to in those days. Especially for those who could hardly toddle up the garden path, I know how they felt now after I have been doing some digging.

I loved the variety that was carried along for sale! It made it a true traveling store of its own variety! I can imagine the parafin tins got to be a bit wearisome with the lifting up and down of them! Ah, all in a day's work I suppose, expecially in that era when folks worked very hard for a buck and they got the most for them, too! sam

You certainly bring to life another era! And like Pat, I too can recall that smokey fog, having spent a year in London when I was very young...

The air almost smells like smoky fog as I read the
bygone days. It's good to think about days when there was no www umbilical cord tying each schoolkid to the others, when reality was every day and not on TV as a centerpiece for commercials.

I like reading you and watching the pictures that float through my mind of mid-century England, damp, and dark, and gray with bursts of bright wonderful sunshine from time to time. You really are an artist you know.
