It would indeed be interesting to hear about your father growing up in the 20's in England, the strikes, and especially his second WW experiences in the navy etc ! How about a post from what you remember from his stories to you ? <BR/>I remember going to school on a Double Decker bus and being petrified it would overturn!!<BR/> <BR/>Arulba - Like Susan I wish I had some of those stories on paper.<BR/> <BR/>Gary ~Cedar Getters is a term that belongs to that era, I don’t think anyone would use it to day! <BR/>Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-40329790664294542992008-01-26T11:30:00.000+11:002008-01-26T11:30:00.000+11:00Very interesting Lindsay!

It's also good to remember to listen to our older relations and friends while we have the opportunity. My Dad used to tell long and highly detailed stories about his childhood, coal mining in the 20's in England, the strikes, his second WW experiences in the navy, being a London bus driver (imagine learning to drive on a double-decker). I loved his stories and still wish I'd recorded his discourses but it would be poignant to hear his voice again.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-82983787062373330982008-01-23T11:39:00.000+11:002008-01-23T11:39:00.000+11:00That makes Jack Thompson my 3rd cousin once remove...That makes Jack Thompson my 3rd cousin once removed i think?
