In 1940, we got evacuated to Leicester with my sister Sylvie. She鈥檇 鈥榲e been two or something.
I remember being caught under a table with me mum and me sister. We heard the thing make a noise (the doodlebug) when it was going and it stopped. You knew that was it; someone was going to cop it. And someone did 鈥榗os the next day, part of Smeetham Road was gone, flattened. We didn鈥檛 get to the Anderson Shelter on time.
I was a bit scared, but one got used to it and took it in one鈥檚 stride.
