Watching my mam gutting a chicken! They didn't come all nice and clean and in plastic bags then. You picked one from the butchers window if you could afford it! Then when you got it home you had to put your hand up its bum and pull its insides out!! God help my kids if it was like that now ,none of them would know what chicken tasted like!!! |

I can think of loads..... sweeping the carpets then taking them outside to beat them, washday..took all day, going to the 'steamie' with the heavy wash items, my Mum sewing all the pleats into my school skirts every Sunday night before pressing them, my Granny making her own pickles and pressed tongue (why didn't she just buy them?) Could go on for ever! Christine |

lets try and capture all the things that were real tasks years ago compared to to-day. I'll start by........... Having to boil water for a weekly bath in the tin tub. Lynn |
