    My kids were always the filthiest in the street...grubby little urchins....

    Is anyone old enough to remember the summer of 76....long hot summer, spent mooching around the local park (in the days you could walk round without fear of getting mugged or suchlike) flirting with boys and listening to the charts on our little transistor radio....then I always had to turn my watch back half an hour and go 'but mum, my watch says 8.30pm.......can't believe I thought she would fall for that....


    No I don't sammy :p although I have plenty of photographs of my christening from that year and all the grass in the garden was brown and dead!
