Do You Remember?

 The cars that had loudspeakers and drove around the streets before General Elections reminding people to vote?

How libraries worked before computers?

Nightdress cases, you put your nightie or PJs in it in the morning and took them out at again at bedtime? My sister had one shaped like a poodle. Youngest daughter said she had one that was a clown with bits attached like a zip and buttons and laces for learning - I'd forgotten - she said it was a happy clown and she wasn't traumatized!

Two years ago Ipswich Town Football Club went from Championship to Premiership - the  top tier of  British football. They had one season playing all the big names like Man U, Man City, Arsenal etc etc but at the end of the season they went straight back down to second tier again. On Saturday the were automatically promoted again - Whoop Whoop! I have no idea how they'll get on with the 'Big Boys' next season but for now it's made a lot of people very happy!

Have a good Bank Holiday Monday for everyone in the UK.

  1. Many things had "cases" in my childhood.Do you remember when people kept their boxes of tissues in fabric cases to cover the cardboard? My parents had a tooled leather case which said Radio Times in gold (But they could only afford to buy it at Christmas] And as for covers for the loo rolls...Crinoline ladies, and bizarre crochet poodles....
