In school got a right going over for using marge on my hair. It started to smell in the afternoons. At 17 graduated to transformer oil from the job, mixed with a little "Essence of Violets" from Woolie's. My social life picked up after that. At 18 got my first tube of Brillcreme, and a can of that new magical Gillette Foam shave creme. A Hepwoth.s suit, and dog tooth raglan overcoat, and Locarno here I come!

Piercy's bus had a regular spot on our Hartopp (Hard up) Road. Mrs Piercy was a little harder with the tick! The cheque man was Mr Westerman, who made sure there was smoke coming out of the chimney before he wasted his time banging on the door for his late payments.
