I Remember When

Is there anyone that can still remember the horse and trap in the days before the motor car?

Good Heavens, Malcolm, how long ago was that?

And, no, but I do remember the "rag and bone man" coming round in a horse drawn cart, but there were cars etc on the roads!

 Do you remember that as well Malc?

I remember being told about it!

When Cricket and tennis players played in white kit.

Remember  those  Jowett  cars,  Malcolm  ??

I remember when we were inspecting houses for slum clearance we had a couple of abbreviations which we used to use. D&V was for dirty and verminous, and SOS was for stove on suspicion ie. not quite D&V but treat anyway. SFF was for stone flagged floor.

An SFF would be sought after now.
