You can still leave your doors open in many parts of Stoke, by the way - and people do.
And help each other out. And look after other people. The thing is, they can do it now in centrally heated houses and aren't freezing to death. |

Life is for living in the present, not through a rosey-hued window of one or two nice things you remember from the past and think all was always 'wonderful'.

Akabula,
I used the term "back in the day" as it is a common colloquial expression. I put it in quotation marks to protect me from the ire of some of our most sensitive forumites - I feared there may be a backlash. I thought it might get the attention of some of our hip readers. I agree with you and may start a thread entitled "modern phrases that shouldn't be used". |

Goodness knows what that was about as he couldn't have cycled 500 miles from Plymouth or Portsmouth up to central Scotland. Also,'The Tinkers' who would sell clothes pegs and sharpen garden shears and scissors. |
