I was evacuated with my three brothers and one sister and we all got on the back seat of the bus. We went under a low bridge and it damaged the roof and so we all had to get off. Nobody was seriously hurt but the bag of broken biscuits Mum had given us to eat on the journey 鈥� and that was a big treat 鈥� got full of glass so we had nothing. They took us into a cinema to wait for a replacement bus to turn up and that was a huge treat as well because the film was Pinnochio - but the bus came too soon so we never saw the end! Eventually we ended up in a school in Northampton but no-one would take us all. One lady said, 鈥淚 only ordered one!鈥� We hated it.
