Mine is havlng the F A Cup on my bed. I'll explain, In the 1960's I lived next door at Loughton, to Ron Greenwood the West Ham manager. And when they won the cup he brought it in to show my Nan who was living with us and was ill at the time and in my bed. It's hard to believe now when I see them on TV with the cup. Julia |

Mine is having my picture in (I think) the News Chronicle in December 1950 when I was 22 months old. I was in Selfridges looking at the baby dolls. The caption was something like "Please Mummy, I'd like this one. I'll be very good" I was dressed in my best red coat and bonnet trimmed with navy velvet. Very smart! LOL. My Grandmother was a dressmaker and used to make me clothes from the material she had left after making garments for her clients. I still have the photo somewhere. I'll post it on Darren's site if I can find it! Sue |

When I was about 4 my Mum had taken my brother and me to the Christmas service in George Square, Glasgow. It was being filmed live on T.V. When it came to saying "The Lord's Prayer", the 1st child - "Our Father who art in heaven" Then to me "HAROLD is your name"!!!!! I think my mum was more embarrassed than me, as I didn't know I'd made a mistake. Thankfully no videos in those days. |
