You were lucky to have 11 pound a week. I had 25 shillings. I used to cycle to work and to evening school. My mother had 20 shillings and I had 5 shillings. Sylvia

I was struck not just by the pay, but the difference between pay for men and women in the same job. Wouldn't be allowed now thank goodness. Angela
