WHAT? You could afford THUMBS? Wow-such luxury! We were so poor we had to bite other people's fingernails
Rubber bands-Luxury! We used to DREAM of chewing a rubber band dipped in old cow shit. We were so poor we couldn't afford to starve!
we were so poor that my dad would pay me a quarter to smell his socks...and i usually did it :frown:...to get some candy
We were so poor we had to reuse and share our toilet paper, it really sucked if you had to blow your nose.
"On the road" for the first 4 years of my life, First House was 2 up, 2 Down, Toilet out the back - (Living room, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms) - (Bath later fitted under the stairs in the kitchen) Coal Bunker, Washing done in the sink, Mangle (to dry clothes) and No TV - Ah the days of Black and white
Fuck me-you lived in LUXURY! I bet you even had a roof! We used to hang awake at night in a cesspit,dangling from thorns pushed into our flesh,dreeaaming of having a roof! [we had to work for the thorns,they weren't free] Coal bunker? Toilet? Bath? What strange and magical words are these,my prrrrrecious??
my friend at work and I talk about this all the time. you can always tell the poor kids by who knows what Arthur is, the game "the floor is lava" and if you remember sitting in the yard with a stick more than 6 times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAtSw3daGoo"]AT LAST THE 1948 SHOW - Brooke-Taylor, Chapman, Cleese, Feldman - Four Yorkshiremen - YouTube
