Great memories folks. i also have my wee Grandma's button tub. Carpet that didn't go all the way to the walls. Folk taking them outside to the washing line to beat the stoor out. Carpet sweepers. Paddy's Market! Our favourite place to visit when I was younger. The Barras were amazing then too. Party line phones. Sx
