You were lucky she had wool to knit with. We had to dress in coal sacks left when the coal man delivered to the neighbours.

We dreamed of having coal sacks, we had to wear cardboard.

We were so poor as kids, there was six siblings to a bed and two of them were bedwetters. I could swim before I could walk. When mum asked me what part of the bed I wanted to sleep in, I asked to go to the shallow end.

Happy days.

This reminds us, we listened to Capstick Comes Home (by Tony Capstick) yesterday - it's so funny it could've been part of the Python sketch.

Where we lived was so small it was a toilet with an outside house.

When I was wee, in the days before central heating we lived in an old Victorian house which was exceptionally draughty.

At night I used to slip the arms of my dressing gown onto my legs and wrap the rest round me up to my chin under the five layers of blankets. Often think back to it.

You lot don't know you're born. There was no 'we' back in my day. Was just me. I had to eat the remainder of my umbilical cord just to survive the first of many brutal cold nights as a newborn after climbing from that frozen corpse which spawned me. Then I had to graft doing the work of a man despite weighing not more than 5lbs.

You're lucky. I don't even know what a clock is never mind a bed. Never even laid eyes on one. That's cos I was born blind. I had to go into the pit before your shift even started and breathe in all the dust and fumes just so that lords like you were able to enter safely. During the day I had to catch all the rats using my keen sense of smell and using my own flesh as bait just to protect you workers. That was me job.

We always hung up the used toilet roll to dry out before the terms, re-use, reduce, recycle was applied to wastage, and our neighbours used to put padlocks on their dustbins so we couldn't rummage...bastards!!!

We were so poor, mummy and daddy could only afford to send me to boarding school in Oxford. I so wanted Cambridge, no matter how hard I stamped my feet they never budged. Didn’t even travel with me in the back of the Daimler, and had only the company of some awfully smelling driver person! The shame....thank goodness he kept his hat on!

As kids we were so poor in my house that we all shared the same bed. 4 of them used to piss themselves. I learned to swim before I could walk.

We’d take turns of who slept where and what side. Whenever I was asked what end I wanted to sleep at I’d always reply “the shallow end”
