MacAulay & Co - First film at the Cinema
The first film I saw was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in 1968, with my big sister and my mother, I was 9 years old but other than it was in Glasgow, I can't remember which cinema. On our return home as a wee "treat" we had a raw egg whisked up with some sugar, makes my stomach heave now, but we lapped it up. I can recall that my mother did not join us in this particular "tipple".ÌýÌýÌý
