I went to my grandma's house down Calton Street Lund Park Area in Keighley
every Thursday it was always Polony and Chips. She sent me to Cunnigham's Fish shop on
Victoria Road for a few penneth o' curly chips. It were reight grand.
I had a mate who would go into the greengrocer's and ask for damaged fruit: they had a box near the floor containing rejects.
We also had a lad in the village who would beg the core when he saw a kid eating an apple. I never knew if his dad worked or not.
Gilbert Swift also told us that we should wear clean socks each day; if we couldn't manage that, we should wear a pair alternate days. Unbelievable today?
