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