No Luxuries!
A Memory of Hastings.
Hello again,
Referring back to my childhood growing up in Rye, can you picture it today, eleven children, no fridge, only a larder, no washing machine, only a copper boiler, no tumble dryer, only a mangle for squeezing out the water from the clothes, and not even a T.V. and without a phone in the house, only a radio, and that is if you could afford one how would people manage today. Another item we had delivered which we had to do was sort out peas in the front room, milk was delivered by horse and cart, and you took out your jug for the milk, a chap came round now and again with a push cart to sell shrimps, bread was delivered by the baker from a van, also the butcher came around in his van to sell his meat and other odd items he carried in the van, boyhood memories, not all good I hasten to add.
Stan Wilson.
