My Dad grew up in a two room flat above a shop. With Nan, Sam and a younger brother and sister. Their regular meal was Mince & Tatties.

My Mum grew up in a very large house with her Nan, Grandad and Great Aunt. And they had strawberry jam for breakfast.

I’ve forgiven my mother Every Single thing. Dad too :o)

But – she (Mum) was and will always be Hyacinth Bucket. A snob with aspirations above her station and a very bad OCD case of cleanliness!

No word of a lie.

Bless ’em. Both :o)
