an old cynic's view

Did yer Mammy throw a jeely piece oot the windae??

I remember living in houses like these
No inside toilet but sharing with up to 6 families
The upside was you never got a cold seat, I am glad we had not yet discovered the delights of Indian cuisine.
Newspaper cut in squares and tied with a piece of string
No Bath
Gas lighting
Coal fires
A washouse in the back yard stoked by coal and in the summer holidays after the washing was done all the weans were thrown in.
Ah those were the days
