Eventually when Maddie and her husband went to live in America they brought the aunts over to live with them in New York and also shared a house in Vermont.<br /> I'm ashamed to say we did not inform the Sweeneys about the crook in their house. We felt if they didn't know already they soon would realise. The culprit was a nasty piece of work with contacts in the East end. Soho in the fifties was quite a scary place and we feared retribution. Another incentive for moving to our own patch as soon as possible.<br />Thank you I am feeling more myself and next week will have a procedure which will clarify things.

Sometime around my teens, midday eats became lunch and dinner - still the main meal of the day - moved to teatime. There were other families who seemed to have a big meal around 7pm or 8pm called supper, but they were clearly "other", and I never really got to grips with it.<br />How have your meals changed in terms of times and names over the years, Pat?<br />Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-81061760030603265672018-08-02T18:14:54.035+01:002018-08-02T18:14:54.035+01:00"Spiv" great word for a bastard!

Certainly not entertaining. It turns out you can reduce someone to a stereotype and it fits.

So cruel. <br /><br />Another cracking entry, Pat. Hope you're feeling better. Exile on Pain Streetnoreply@blogger.com
