Todays Kids.
 

Must have their own bedroom with their own T.V. and their own Computer.
We had to share this between 6 of us.

You were lucky to 'ave a bedroom.

We used t' sleep in corridor!

We used to sleep in a hole in the road!:D

We were regularly woken up by sister number 4 crying out "Mum, he's pulling the arms off the eiderdown".

I take it this is NOT a helmet to protect one's self from an air raid circa WWII?
:getmecoat:

We didn't have much,but we did have a pot to **** in.:D

I can see this thread going down the route of ....

"When I were a lad, I had to walk 16 miles to school, at weekends I worked 48 hours down 't pit with me dad, who used to beat me with coal shovel, and I was grateful! "

Oh, so you were one of them "posh" folk that 'ad jobs then! A coal shovel? Luxuries!:getmecoat:

Lol!
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to brag!

Just shown that sketch to my g/children,they don't believe me when i tell them how hard it was.:D

Very funny, I hadn't seen that in ages.:D

What is it:getmecoat:
I grew up in the 70s so thankfully had indoor plumbing:D

Its a gazunder.

Because it goes under the bed:D

and the steam rusts the bedsprings! :getmecoat:

Blimey you must have been posh.

The loo was outside attached to the shed in it's own building.
It was okay in the summer but in the winter, you got given a torch and there was always wellies and a coat by the back door.

The chamber pot was for emergencies if you had to go in the night!

You had an outside loo, a shed, a torch, wellies and a coat! You must have been royalty! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::D:getmecoat:

A torch - that was a bit technical - all we had was a stable lamp and two bits of wood to rub together to get a spark ;)

And

Both of these made me laugh and I can't compete with either.:laughing2:

Laugh? You must be from down South. Nobody laughs up North! Unless the gaffer tells you to!:D

Yes, the South West, best part of the Country as well.:D
