They had guns in Long Eaton near where I lived. Our house had a long pantry where we used to hide when there was a raid. When we hid I was very frightened and crossed my fingers all the time that I was down there. I never slept because I was so terrified — it never seemed to bother my sister, she always slept straight through.
