smudger....i've pu put this in an another thread ...my mother met jack warner when she worked on the railway buffet room.....she said he was a nice man!!I remember because she always said"i met him" when dixon of dock green came on the tv!!!
it's nice to see everyone appearing again..it must be because the holidays are over!!
helen,whats a saggy whatever you said??????

mornin sal.

a saggar makers bottom knocker.

a saggar is something to so with the process of making china.
im not quite sure, but i think a bottom knocker was a person who went around knocking the bottoms of the saggars, which i think is the technical name for the moulds in which they were made.
once the bottoms had been knocked, the china came out of the saggars.

this was done in the olden days, before machinery took over the human element of production skills.
im no expert, so im sure that someone will come along and correct me if they know better.

And there was me thinking it was gravity taking its toll on saomeones "behind"

Does anyone remember them Coffee Shops that sprang up every where in the 60s, and those Pyrex Cups?
and the clothes that were, the fashion, (or in man, cool)

Aye! Old Dixon of dock green, would have a fit, if he was in the modern world
Smudger.

Smudger.

hi folks....

helen, thanx for clearing that up luv, i was begining to get strange visions....

we've still got a couple of them pyrex cups here.... i remember every home had them when i was a child.... and i vaguely remember the coffee shops, had one nearby to where i lived back then, it was called the sorento and was full of bikers, friendly bikers tho'.... i remember they used to sell cigs one at a time from the packet....
i remember as kids we used to but the odd one, pretending it was for someone else.... there would be about four or five of us sneaking off for a crafty puff, then we'd all slope off home as green as they come.... oh wot fun.... lol...

that should have said "buy" the odd one.... lol...

Yea! thats a point, cigarettes from the 60s,

Bristol, Capstans, No6, Cadets, Wills Gold Flake (I used to smoke them)
Senior Service, Embassy, Sterlings,.........any more?
Smudger.

cigarettes.

my grandma smoked.... woodbines.
my dad smoked........ park drive
my uncle smoked...... capstan full strength.

now i wont have anyone smoking in my house and wont go anywhere near anyone smoking at all. especially cigars. they make me feel sick with the smell.

my gran smoked woodbines too helen, the ones without the cork tip.... my dad smoked a pipe, condor tobacco....
me, well i used to smoke owt cheap..... gave up over 18 months ago and never looked back.... i'm the same now helen, can't stand the smell and the house is a smokeless zone.... all visitors who really need a puff are banished to the back garden..... poor sods, it's cold out there tonight..... lol....

serves em right

going back to the clear glass cups...
i have a full dining set in the brown glass, in my caravan.
we bought it from a car boot sale. £2 the lot !!

the couple we got are a smokey grey.... (no, not with cig smoke... lol)
me mam had the brown ones, think she still has a couple in her kitchen cupboards....


hey, do you remember rolf harris with his stylophone in the ads.....

yes.
my ex had one of those. i think it went with him when he moved out. it never did work properly. or was it that i wasnt musical enough to play it??
