I Remember When

I remember the time when you went into a shop and everything on display was Made in England. It was all better quality stuff as a result of that!

I remember being chastised at school for having a biro instead of a fountain pen to write with....

I remember dipping my wooden handled pen into Quink ink and later on refilling my fountain pen with it.

I recall that in my early banking days that a using a biro was practically a hanging offence.

I remember when you had to wear a suit to go out in the evening to a night club or at least a jacket and tie!

Black Lead stoves

Coal fires

Coke fires.....difficult to light, but great heat when going....
