We used to live in Burslem and we had the tin Anderson shelters in the garden. The school where I went at that time, St Paul's Church School, had a very, very small Playground and no room for a shelter and we had to run down the playground and down the field in order to get to the shelter. It was unbelievable to have 2-300 children running down a field. We could have been killed!
Some of the things we did were stupid - it was naive. I don't know how we won. It was a bit of luck and lots of British Spirit.
