We went on a penny platform ticket all those years ago dear brother.to Nottingham.   Another  time is your large paper round on a freezing cold morning 6am before school you asked me to help I loved being with you so I did , the newsagent on the corner of   Henley road , they  threw the keys down to us  we had to sort the numbers and addresses out  it was hard but I was with you .This was a happy time just before christmas we would knock on our customers door from the paper round and say compliments of the season  we would get sixpence   half a crown and  even pound notes , we gave it all to mum and it paid for our christmas dinner a  goose  mum was so pleased with us .  Also you had your grocery round at good halls a bike with a basket  on the front ,  they gave you bacon bits as a tip we all got to enjoy those crisp  bacon bits yummy  .
