Parrot
Childhood memory, the post office door had an actual brass bell fitted to it, on entering if the post master was in the back their parrot used to scream 'Wipe your feet' followed by 'No stamps today'.

  Year: 1967 Swimming
I remember the old swimming pool we had back then and I was not allowed to swim because I had a bad ear.  We used to sneak in during the long staff meeting sessions.  I remember playing on the den site and what a football pitch we had!

  Year: 1976 chaigley school
I am a former pupil of Chaigley, where I spent several happy years.  I remember the little school house on the left side opposite and a little further up from  the post office where we used to sit and have an illicit smoke.  I also remember the Rose Queen Carnival.  My memories of the village are of a place that almost seemed as though it was somehow more remote than it actually is. I have returned a couple of times as an adult and found it much the same.
