When I was a kid Sunday was always a day of rest so nobody worked or made a noise. Sunday dinner was always a roast, accompanied by the Billy Cotton Bandshow on the wireless. In the afternoon mums and dads had a snooze in their respective armchairs while us kids played quietly for fear of waking them. Then tea time was usually a ham salad followed by tinned fruit and condensed milk and everything had to be accompanied by a slice of bread and margerine...aah, those were the days.

I suppose at your age, time does play havoc ewith the memory

If you used condensed milk the fruit salad would get too sticky, unless,of course, you came from the north of the country

The crap we used to listen to on the radio as well, like Educating Archie, Billy Cotton, Semprini Serenade, Jimmy Clitheroe, my God!   They're bringing them all back while we are in lockdown, just to remind us what "Good Times" were.
