0:00:20 > 0:00:22This story belongs to Hannah
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and her nana, Anna!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33It's a tiny tale about Nana Anna,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35and a thing she used to do.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now it's time for her to share her memories, and take Hannah
0:00:40 > 0:00:43on a journey of discovery.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Doesn't Hannah look just like
0:00:56 > 0:00:58her nana when she was a wee girl?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hannah's counting all her money.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10How much is there?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- 29.- £29.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Did you save that up from your pocket money?- Mm-hmm.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- How much pocket money do you get every week?- Usually, I only get one,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- but sometimes, I get two. - Sometimes, you get £2?- Mm-hmm.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27When I was your age, do you know how much I got?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29How many?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31One penny.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Only one penny!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36My dad used to come home from his work
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and give us all one penny pocket money.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I had two sisters - the three of us
0:01:42 > 0:01:45used to run to the sweetie shop,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50and we could buy four different things for our pennies...
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Four packets of sweets for a penny! Lucky Nana Anna!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00That's a penny, isn't it? And there's an old penny.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- They're much bigger. - Much, much bigger, aren't they?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Look what I've got here - I've got lots of old pennies!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Look, Nana Anna has been saving her old pennies - just like Hannah!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Look!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Dozens of them... - They talked about long ago,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20when Nana Anna was a little girl.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Hannah wants to find out more
0:02:25 > 0:02:27about her nana's life.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Nana, tell me a story about your mum and dad.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32My dad came from Cork,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35which is a city in Ireland.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37My mother came from
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the other end of the country,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41a place called Donegal.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Nana Anna's mum and dad came from Ireland,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49but moved to Glasgow, in Scotland, where they married.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Her dad worked in the shipyards, where they built enormous ships,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57just like in this old film.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59He was a joiner, who made furniture
0:02:59 > 0:03:04for the bedrooms in the cabins where passengers slept.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10In the shipyard, they made huge boats - very, very famous boats,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14like the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth, and the men
0:03:14 > 0:03:18who worked on the boats were very, very skilled workmen.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21This is one of the cabins inside the big ships.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I think my dad must have worked on fitting out
0:03:25 > 0:03:29the cabins in these big luxury liners.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Where is Hannah's nana taking her now?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I'm going to take you to our sweetie shop, Hannah,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42which has been there for over 100 years. It's still got
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the same kind of sweeties that we used to buy with our Friday penny.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Woah! What a lot of sweets!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Ah, now, look at this magic shop!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11It's the kind of shop that I would have come to when I was your age.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Let's see if we can find some of the sweeties
0:04:14 > 0:04:17that I would buy with my Friday penny.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, there's one - look!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23All the favourites of Nana Anna when she was a little girl!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28ABC letters was another one that I loved.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And Lucky Potatoes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Do you think the lady would let us taste some?- Mm-hmm.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- What is it you'd like?- Could we maybe taste the ABCs?- ABCs?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- ABCs are lovely!- Yes, ABC...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Go on, try one, Hannah!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'll put them on a wee plate.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- There you are. - Oh, thank you!- Thank you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52What a treat for Hannah and Nana Anna!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54What will I try?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Yum!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Could I find an A for Anna?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Mmm!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Yummy!
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Have a wee taste of some sherbet. - Have a dip with a bit of liquorice.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Oh, that's fizzy!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- I like it.- Mmm, she likes that. OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Would you like to taste some of the Belgian chocolate mice?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Of course she does!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Thanks very much. Have a wee taste of that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Nibble it...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Mmm!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Can I have a wee taste of that, too? Mmm, got a lot of chocolate in it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Mmm.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Yummy!- And what about some Lucky Tatties?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Hold on to the mouse.- And I'll swap you over.- Want to try one?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Uh-oh!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Hannah doesn't like that one!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50How much do you think that would cost now
0:05:50 > 0:05:53for those four things that I used to buy for a penny?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That would be about £1.50 now.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00£1.50! That would be nearly all your pocket money -
0:06:00 > 0:06:04for four things! And I could get them all for a penny!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Don't forget to brush your teeth, Hannah!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17When I was a little girl, Hannah,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19this is the street I lived in.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And this building is called a tenement.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26And you can see, it's got three storeys - one, two, three.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And I lived in the middle storey,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and that was my house, there.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34There's loads of cars now,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36but when I was a little girl,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38one person had a car,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41and we thought that person was very rich.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47We'd play outside ALL the time.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53We'd play this game "bouncy" with a ball, a tennis ball.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58And the person who could do the most bounces without losing the ball
0:06:58 > 0:07:01won the game!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14One day, when I was cleaning out one of my cupboards,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17look what I discovered.
0:07:17 > 0:07:24An old case of your mum's dolls. And all these dressing-up clothes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28She loved to dress up her dolls. There are all sorts of clothes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Now, I've got an idea.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- How would you like to dress up today?- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37OK, let's do that, then, will we?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45This is the kind of dress I would have worn
0:07:45 > 0:07:49when your mum was a little girl. And that's the kind of dress
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- your mum would have worn. And guess who would have made the dress.- You.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Me. I used to make all her dresses when she was a little girl.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Do you like mine?- Uh-huh.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Don't you look sweet?!
0:08:06 > 0:08:10This is the kind of dress I would wear when I was a young lady,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11when I married your Gramps.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14How stylish was Nana Anna when she was young?!
0:08:17 > 0:08:22And you just look like a little schoolgirl from that time.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Especially with your bunches.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Do you like your dress?- Yes. - Do you like my outfit?- Uh-huh.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Oh, looking good, Hannah!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36This is the kind of dress that my mum would have worn.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40That's the kind of dress I would have worn when I was little.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Especially if I was going somewhere special.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Hannah, you look lovely. You just remind me of Alice in Wonderland.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Nanna Anna loved to get dressed up
0:08:54 > 0:08:57when she had days out with her family.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We used to go to Glasgow on the tram.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07We always went upstairs and sat in the little front bit of the tram.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I can always remember I always had to go up there
0:09:11 > 0:09:15as I got sick on the trams. There was a big exhibition
0:09:15 > 0:09:18called the Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22which was a great excitement for children in those days.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It was a big deal for your parents to take you
0:09:25 > 0:09:30to see the Empire Exhibition. It was absolutely magical.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34We saw Eastern buildings and all sorts of fancy buildings
0:09:34 > 0:09:35from all over the world.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And we children were absolutely goggle-eyed
0:09:39 > 0:09:42at all that we saw in the Empire Exhibition.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46It was one of the magic things that stayed with you forever.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Where to now, Hannah?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59They're off to visit an old house
0:09:59 > 0:10:03that has been kept the way it was when Nana Anna was a little girl.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh, my goodness, this is just like the kitchen
0:10:08 > 0:10:11that I lived in when I was a little girl.
0:10:11 > 0:10:18That's called the bed recess, and that's where my mum and dad slept.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21What do you think this is, Hannah?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- A carpet beater.- A carpet beater.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And what would happen would be that these rugs would be taken down,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32thrown over the washing line and beaten like that
0:10:32 > 0:10:34till all the dust went up in the air.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That would be part of cleaning your house,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40to take your carpets down and beat them.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44What's that, Hannah?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And this is what we call the range,
0:10:47 > 0:10:52where all the cooking was done. We used to light the gas rings,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56there, with a match. The cooking was done in those big pots.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58That is the oven at the bottom.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01We opened the door and did the baking in the oven.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Where would you sleep,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- if your mum and dad slept there? - We slept in the other room,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09where there was another recess bed like that.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Two of my sisters would sleep in there,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and we had a kind of settee bed.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17The ones you could put down and fold up during the day.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21So your room looked like a sitting room during the day.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25That was where we slept, in that room, that was the sitting room.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Would you rather have lived
0:11:27 > 0:11:30when I was a little girl, or would you rather be
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- a little girl nowadays? - I'd rather be nowadays.- Why?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Because I really like telly. - Television.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42We didn't have any television, so we had to make our own fun.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Let's walk over here and see what's over here.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50In those days, no-one had a washing machine.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Everyone washed their clothes by hand,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54using a washboard and a wringer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59This is the sink where some clothes would be washed,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02then they'd put the clothes through that wringer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07See the handle, what would they do with the handle?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Spin it round. - They'd turn the handle round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12We used to call that "core the handle."
0:12:12 > 0:12:16That's what people used to say. "Let's core the handle."
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- What do you think that is? - A washboard.- How would you use it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22You'd just put it in the sink.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Yes, and then you'd rub your clothes up and down there,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30as you'd have soap on the washboard already,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and then you would put the cloth back into the water,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35rinse the soap off it,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38and then you'd put it through there, the wringer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Thank you for a nice day out, Nana.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I've just loved being back in this old tenement house,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59it's brought back so many memories.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- What was your favourite part? - Dressing up.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Oh, you looked lovely in all the clothes. Your mum and me
0:13:06 > 0:13:10were always interested in fashion and dressing up.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I can see another story starting here with you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Now, I think we'll go home on the bus, because I've got a...penny!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Don't be silly!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23What a fabulous heap of fun!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26That was Hannah and Nana Anna's tiny tale
0:13:26 > 0:13:31about the things Nana Anna used to do and the fun she had,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33and why she has such a big, old penny.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Nana Anna has shared her story with Hannah
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and now Hannah is starting her own story.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Do you know someone with a story to share?
