I was born in 1934 so was 6 when the war started. I didn't really go to school as it had been bombed. The idea was that the kids would congregate in people's houses and a teacher would teach us there, but that fizzled out after a couple of weeks.

As this didn't materialise, a gang of us, used to scavenge around - selling firewood, jam jars, things from people's bombed houses, things that were sparse. We used to collect oold magazines, iron them out and resell them!

My wheeler dealings as a child, gave me the skills and confidence to make a really comfortable living as an adult!
