I Remember When

Mk 8 goggles 

Horse and cart rag and bone man came round the streets and I could get a goldfish in a plastic bag of water In exchange for old cloths.

I was supposed to get Donkey stone for whitening the doorstep edges.

I can also remember the milkman coming round with a horse and cart caring milk churns we used to take a jug out to him for our milk.

When the Co-op gave a dividend (the divvie). Each customer had a number. I was reminded of this last week at Ferry Meadows because the code for the amenities block was the same as our old divvie number. I thought the number was familiar and then remembered it from 60 odd years ago, short term memory is rubbish but long term wow!
