How could I forget the Cottage Hospital?  I had my tonsils out here!  Strangely enough, after all these years I can still picture parts of the Children's Ward, one or two of the nurses, and the bed that I was in.  Hospital is never the most pleasant place to be but, if I remember correctly (and I am sure that I do), the worst part of my stay was "Nil By Mouth" after the operation!

I asked for a drink, they promised blackcurrant juice, they gave me some after an hour and I brought it all up over the white sheets.

I had my tonsils out here, in 1959, I remember all the nursery rhymes on the tiled walls.
