LOCAL TALK BACK April 2014

The first thing I had to do was get myself a bike. The man who lived in the house
adjoining our garden repaired and sold bikes so I ordered one which cost me £6. I had to pay
ten shillings (50p) down and pay one shilling a week, or more if I could afford it. Mother
paid the ten shillings for I had no money of my own. Mother had to get me rigged out for my
new job. I had to have three white aprons and caps, and dresses in deep blue, also two course
aprons made of hessian. Mother packed my bag which was made of the same sort of rush
that they make mats and baskets of, it was held together with a leather strap. Before it was
given to me it was used for a cot for all her babies when first born. I shall never forget how
Mother rigged me out, she made me wear corsets with steels in them. I had to have them to
hold my stockings up with the suspenders. I had black and white elastic garters and I still
kept them. I wasn’t trusting to the suspenders. Apart from my vests and petticoats there
were three pairs of blue bloomers to take with me.
