Have you mastered one armed ironing yet? How is the arm, getting any better?

Christine I was brought there by my lefty Dad. I was hang on count on me fingers hey Marion you aint that much older than me then, LOL thought so I was about 12-13 funny cause a few years later I got hit by a copper and I kicked him too, and ran for me life through the crowd. I remember thinking i would be caught by them I was nearly wetting me self. Oh Christine I knew what Vietnam was, although only there was this War on and it wasnt right, then the Civil Rights and I remember standing for Dr Martin Luther King on his assassination. Oh the demonstrations I was on, all you had to say was there's a demo and I was ready LOL. I was in the anti nazi league as well so I kept going right up to the 1980's. Pat x

That was quick Marion, what's up? Can't sleep?

Maybe just a wee bit extreme though Pat, doing away with their old men! 1969 Pat, I was 8 and had never heard of Vietnam. Good on you, demonstrating. the Jane Fonda of GR

Oh off now Marion, we've bored you enough then??? Should sleep well then I always think of nice things you know whatever takes your fancy just think about it long enough and sleep comes I have these visions of Christine at the ironing board, plays havoc with my sleep that does LOL Pat x

LOL Oh the days I did the Oxfam walk in 1969 when i was at school I also cut my teeth demonstrating at the American Embassy in London against the Vietnam War with a wave of hippies LOL As for you Christine you like winter, ironing and talking foreign blimey we are so different its ridiculous. silly mare LOL Pat x

Poor bloke I'm worried about him. Last night she was admiring woman who had bumped their men off! PMSL Christine

Barefoot in the Park I know...Robert Redford and Jane Fonda but not the grass one!

Think she's gone to shove her ironing under her poor man's matress LOL Christine

Is it a film or a song Pat? I like the winter best, love having all the kids in the house and knowing where they are. Summertime and I never see them! Christine

Well I think my walrus wouldn't do badly in flattening the clothes I'm gonna try it sometime I used to do things like that in the Nurses home but that was incase someone nivked me stuff LOL i forgot about it, will try it let you know, how I get on. Pat x

Oh God getting all very heavy as it does with reality. Yeah a hero of mine Christine, but I don't want to go to bed with this. Ok Spring Marion the greatest time of the year, love it myself, makes living through winter worth the wait. OK who walked Barefoot in the Grass? Pat x

Gawd Pat..I know I'm hefty, but I don't think I'd do a very good job. Not in my bed long enough to press the creases out! LOL Christine

I remember going to see Kes with my Mum. Her from Corrie was the mother in it wasn't she. And Up The Junction, i remember that too, now was there a girl in that got an abortion in the days before it was legal?

Aileen gave you an idea earlier put them under the mattress and you're done Christine LOL Pat x

Both Christine, it was a play and became a statement, meant the Government had to change the way they treated families and overcrowding. It remains one of the best things I have ever seen. Do you remember Kes? Family Life? Poor Cow? There was a song called Up the Junction by Squeeze inspired by Ken Loach's play of the same name. Pat x
