A Memory of Luton.

I got my first kiss from a boy called Peter Marshall at Saturday morning pictures here, we were playing kiss chase there. When I was about 6 or 7 there was a pig bin in the street where the neighbours used to put their food waste, to be collected. This was outside St. Paul's church hall, New Town Street, where I lived. My mum used to make toffee apples for all the kids. The rag man used to come round to collect any old clothes and jam jars, he'd give us a painting book in return. Early recycling. Those were the days.
