[QUOTE="Okjilly67, post: 790045, member: 121827"] I can remember we were pretty poor (didn't know it) but then everyone was in our street, we had very little but hankered after nothing really. Though I wanted skates, so mine came via my dads skirmishes into other people's throw-always, he was a decorator - so folk cleared stuff out but to my dad it was treasure. Came the day he found rusty wheeled all metal skates. Bless him he cleaned and oiled them, made new laced out of his old ones, to me they were the most exciting thing I had ever owned. Of course immediately I was the skater Sonja Heni.... Of movie fame. I only skated from our street door to the end of the road where the post box was (I couldn't stop without it) but that was heaven to me. [emoji7] [/QUOTE]
