The Morrison Shelter - had more than a few nights in one of these! They also made for a good game of Table Tennis, and were a great tea-table for children's birthday parties...

1/3 of a pint per day per child perhaps. And hands up those of you who were milk monitors! Solid in the bottles in winter, and totally rancid in the summer.

Remember these? I seem to remember they made a fair omelette, well my dad always said so.

I learnt to drive on one of these, aged 14. A blue one. A passenger could sit on the mudguard, and I suspect the engine timing was a bit out because you could lean over and light your fags on the exhaust pipe! I discovered what cold was like after a few hours rolling or harrowing a field.

Barratts sweet factory was a feature of my childhood, the whiff of chocolate permeating the gentle airs of Wood Green... most of us knew someone who worked there, and would get misshapen lumps of chocolate to gnaw on from them - I expect those lumps were supposed to go back in for re-melting...

View Attachment1/3 of a pint per day per child perhaps. And hands up those of you who were milk monitors! Solid in the bottles in winter, and totally rancid in the summer. Always stacked by the radiator on the winter, so it could get revoltingly luke-warm... I've never been able to face it since!
