0:01:29 > 0:01:31HARMONICA PLAYS

0:02:06 > 0:02:12We went to Shrewsbury yesterday with the Bootle Evening Townswomen's Guild

0:02:12 > 0:02:17and the countryside was magnificent. Oh, it was beautiful.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19There was every shade of green. You couldn't...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I didn't know there were so many shades of green.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23And the little lambs.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Now it seems to me that nobody can really afford to run

0:02:56 > 0:03:01a stately home nowadays. We may as well have some stately cottages.

0:03:01 > 0:03:07But I go farther than that. I say what we need now are not so much stately homes but stately mines.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Stately mines - that's one of my favourite phrases, stately mines.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Maybe a lot of it is because they've no father, it might be that.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Still he's the only one in the family that's ever done it.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36What was the last lot he did? Was it £3 he stole and spent it?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43And I mean, he'd no need to do it. He gets... He goes to the pictures,

0:03:43 > 0:03:47he gets sweets and they get plenty of fruit, don't you?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49They're kept short of nothing.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I got a TV put in for them.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53There's nothing more I can give them.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58ENGINE REVS

0:04:18 > 0:04:24I was going on the road one day, just on my own solitary tinpot way,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27when suddenly round the corner come the Flying Squad.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29The usual chatter.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32They turned round and said, "Well, give an account your movements."

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I said, "I've been to London, Sheffield, Nottingham,

0:04:35 > 0:04:40"Seacombe, Liverpool, Brighton, Huddersfield, Halifax, Barnsley, Wakefield, Normanton and Pontefract.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44"Cleckheaton, Dumfries, Falkirk, Dundee, Shannon, Dumbarton in Scotland, Merthyr Tydfil,

0:04:44 > 0:04:49"Cardiff City, Wrexham and Bristol and Wales." He says, "Hold on a bit, lad. I've had enough."

0:04:49 > 0:04:51He were puzzled were the detective.

0:05:29 > 0:05:35Take it by and large. Surely, we're a better people today.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38This town's a better city today.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44No, the world...

0:05:44 > 0:05:48The world just goes on. The mass of people,

0:05:48 > 0:05:53I don't think they're much interested in anything outside their own lives.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02I think if I got a job and settled down,

0:06:02 > 0:06:06get myself tidied up, some nice clothes,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09I think my wife would have me back tomorrow.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15I was talking to a fella the other week. He'd just come from Africa.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17He'd been away on a ship.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22And, he tells me there were over six million huts to let in Africa,

0:06:22 > 0:06:26there's that many Africans over here.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53And he said, "I've dreamed about going to New Zealand", he said, "And I'm going."

0:06:53 > 0:06:57And I've called him for everything. I said I'd never speak to him again,

0:06:57 > 0:07:02simply because, like, with my hubby, being so ill,

0:07:02 > 0:07:04the boy was his sun, moon and stars.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07But I'm proud of him now

0:07:07 > 0:07:11and I say if anybody emigrates, it takes guts to do it.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13SHIP HORN BLOWS

0:07:13 > 0:07:16And that's why I wouldn't go to New Zealand,

0:07:16 > 0:07:19because I don't think I've got the guts to do it!

0:07:19 > 0:07:20SHE LAUGHS

0:07:20 > 0:07:21ALARM CLOCK RINGS

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Why should a man work

0:07:39 > 0:07:42when he has the health and strength to lie in bed?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Johnny!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Johnny!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Come on, it's half past seven!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Give Jimmy and Bernard a shout.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Jean! Come on now. I'll not shout you again.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Do you hear me?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18RADIO: 'Perhaps just time for this message or perhaps two.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20'Here's the first.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23'It's about an accident at Kilburn, London last Thursday night

0:08:23 > 0:08:28'when an elderly woman was knocked down by a car and received fatal injuries.'

0:08:37 > 0:08:43# I loved you as I never loved before,

0:09:04 > 0:09:10# When you were swe-e-e-et sixteen. #

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Come on, you. You're not half finished yet.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21You knew you were late when I shouted you this morning.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24I've overslept a bit meself.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Now look it's quarter to eight by the right time.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29That clock's not fast this morning, you know.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, Bernard. Come on, son. Hurry up.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37You know you've about a quarter of an hour's walk to school.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Johnny, do you want any more before you go?- No, thank you. - Are you sure?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12# I like an apple and I like a pear

0:10:12 > 0:10:15# And I like a sailor with nice curly hair

0:10:15 > 0:10:19# Oh, gee, I love him I can't deny it

0:10:19 > 0:10:22# I'll be with him wherever he goes

0:10:22 > 0:10:26# He stands on the corner and whistles me out

0:10:26 > 0:10:29# He shouts, "Yooee, yooee, Are you coming out?"

0:10:29 > 0:10:33# Oh, gee, I love him I can't deny it

0:10:33 > 0:10:36# I'll be with him wherever he goes

0:10:36 > 0:10:40# He bought me a shawl of red, white and blue

0:10:40 > 0:10:43# And when we got married, he tore it in two

0:10:43 > 0:10:47# Oh, gee, I love him I can't deny it

0:10:47 > 0:10:51# I'll be with him wherever he goes. #

0:10:51 > 0:10:53HARMONICA TAKES OVER MELODY

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh, you've no idea how we lived.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Five of us in one bed.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Five of us and my mother used to be trying to cover us, you know.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20And she'd have our coats on us, you know.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24And the night man'd come and knock at the door.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28And if that man found three of us in that bed, my mother was brought to the court

0:11:28 > 0:11:34and fined five shillings and you would have to go out in the back yard in the shivering cold,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36and sit in the lavatory till he went.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38The good old days(!)

0:11:38 > 0:11:40There was no good old days. Cursed.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44CHURCH BELLS RING

0:12:00 > 0:12:05I fully think meself that education is a finest thing that ever a man could have.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I've often said if his brains were my talent, we'd go a long way,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07VIOLINS PLAYS THE MELODY

0:14:12 > 0:14:16None of these go in their bare feet like I went over the snow.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Oh, no. It's a better world than it was. I'm sure of that.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08On a Christmas morning, there was a van used to come round.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09Used to call it Father Christmas.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13I don't know whether Methodists or Wesleyans, I can't tell you which.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Belonged to Central Hall - I think they were Quakers or something.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21They used to come round on a Christmas morning with a van

0:15:21 > 0:15:24and they'd give each little child a little underwear

0:15:24 > 0:15:27and a little pinny and a doll.

0:15:27 > 0:15:33And that's all them children ever got. There was no Santa Claus and no stockings.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36SHIP HORN BLOWS

0:15:41 > 0:15:44You don't think I can live on the dole at £2 a week, do you?

0:15:44 > 0:15:48And pay a bit fat Irish landlady £3.10s board and lodge!

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Where's me beer money and cigarette money coming from?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Where's MY harem(?!)

0:16:07 > 0:16:11I think we'll all be standing on a corner again before long bumming a fag.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44But you can see the sky through it! Sky, yes, the sky - right through!

0:16:44 > 0:16:49We've no electric light whatever and the Town Hall tell me I must pay for it meself.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54My chimney stack was demolished on the 5th November, 1957.

0:16:54 > 0:16:59I've got cats here. I've got two cats - a big one and a kitten.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04The big one's run out with fright and left me with the little one and that's no good.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07The big one won't stay. It goes out.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12Even the cats are afraid to stay in the bloody house and yet we've got to stay here!

0:17:12 > 0:17:16And the cockroaches, well, till lately they've been eating us alive.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Go see next door but one and look up to the roof.

0:17:20 > 0:17:25You'll see a big manhole in the roof, where they had to go for the policeman the other night

0:17:25 > 0:17:29to get the baby out, because the ceiling was falling on it, killing it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Do you see that cat?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Well, a damn lad's done that to his ear.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Only yesterday the roof, it teemed in and teemed in.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47I'm just weary and fed up with it.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50There's just me and my sister, two on our own.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54I'm 61 and she's 57 and I think it's downright shame

0:17:54 > 0:17:56that we should live under these conditions.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49I asked him like about a job and they were draining and that with pipes and that, you know.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52He says, "What can you do?" I says, "Night watching."

0:19:52 > 0:19:55He says, "Can you wheel a barrow?" I said, "Yes."

0:19:55 > 0:19:58He said, "Can you go back of the mixer and use a shovel?"

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I said, "I think I can."

0:20:00 > 0:20:03He said, "What are you by trade?" I says, "I'm a labourer."

0:20:03 > 0:20:07So, after he'd weighed me up from top to toe, Mr Finnegan turned round,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09he says, "As much as I admire your pluck,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13"you're too light for heavy work and you're too heavy for light work."

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I says, "I'm neither use nor ornament", so I walked out then.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32That's one of my best pastimes at the public library -

0:20:32 > 0:20:38get in there and see the old cronies, the one-time empire-builders,

0:20:38 > 0:20:44trying to do the same as me - live on less than £3 a week.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56I must speak the truth. I wasn't satisfied with my...

0:20:56 > 0:20:58condition in life.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02I wasn't satisfied with my own class really.

0:21:02 > 0:21:08I wanted to be in a class a little higher intellectually.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13The class I belong is the, er...higher working class.

0:21:13 > 0:21:20The lower working class, well, they are the animal class, actually.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25Absolutely. They talk on nothing. They are absolutely illiterate.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Drink, drink, drink.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18RADIO: 'The members of the Cabinet, the leader of the opposition, the leader of the Liberal party

0:22:18 > 0:22:24'and the Lord Chancellor and the Speaker, the High Commissioners,

0:22:24 > 0:22:28'the representative of the Services, they stand before the Cenotaph.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32'We await the notes of Big Ben to announce the silence.'

0:22:34 > 0:22:39He'd gone to work on a Tuesday morning and a big envelope came.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43So I opened this envelope which I shouldn't have done, but I did do.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46And it was his papers to report to Ashton under Lyne.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51So I said to the eldest son, I said, "Don't go to school this morning. You better take this letter."

0:22:51 > 0:22:54And he said, "Oh, I'm not missing school."

0:22:54 > 0:23:00I said, "You'll do as you're told! You'll take this letter down to the warehouse and ask for your father."

0:23:00 > 0:23:03So he went. So he come back. I said, "How did you go on?"

0:23:03 > 0:23:08"Oh," he said, "It's his mobilisation papers. Me dadda's going away to the war.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10"He says he'll be home soon."

0:23:10 > 0:23:15But he didn't come home soon. They all landed into Tommy Ducks round the corner.

0:23:15 > 0:23:22So I tell you about half past one, they rolled in - six of them - with a great big gallon jar of beer, drunk.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26So of course I didn't know the taste of drink. I said, "You have come home in a nice state!"

0:23:26 > 0:23:32So one of them said, "Never mind, Ma", he says. "We'll not see you for a long time after," he said.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34"LAST POST" PLAYS

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Well, anyway I tell you, he had a few hours sleep and they all went home

0:23:49 > 0:23:53and at night time, they come again and they adjourned to a singing room here.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57So I said, "Oh, don't go out and get any more drink. You've had enough today

0:23:57 > 0:24:00"and you know very well you've got to go away tonight."

0:24:00 > 0:24:04"Oh," he says, "We'll get there some road or other." Well, anyhow they went,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and they took bottles of beer with them to the station

0:24:07 > 0:24:10and he said, "Now, Mary, if you have a little girl, call it Margaret,

0:24:10 > 0:24:13"and if it's a little boy, call it Steven."

0:24:13 > 0:24:16I said, "All right." So he kissed us and he went away.

0:24:16 > 0:24:21And we never seen him after. He was killed at... I got notice to say he'd been killed.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24It was four days past, but he was killed it seems on the 12th...

0:24:24 > 0:24:27March. Neuve Chapelle.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, there you are.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35RADIO: 'The wind stirs the leaves and the flags of the Cenotaph

0:24:35 > 0:24:41'as slowly these tributes grow

0:24:41 > 0:24:44'at the very foot of the Cenotaph.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48'There are many wreaths to be laid this morning.'

0:24:51 > 0:24:53BUGLE PLAYS

0:25:14 > 0:25:17So Madge said to me she thought the budgie was egg bound.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22And I said, "Well, we'll have to do something about it, because it'll die if you don't."

0:25:22 > 0:25:25I said, "Have you got a book on budgies?" She said, "No."

0:25:25 > 0:25:28So she sent the boy out to buy a book and we did what we could for it.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32So, she rang me up the next day and told me there was no eggs.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Rang me up the next day - no eggs.

0:25:34 > 0:25:40So I said to her, "You'd better take it to the university and have it seen to there."

0:25:40 > 0:25:44She said, "I can't do that. It says in the budgie book,

0:25:44 > 0:25:49"you've got to keep them in the one heat. If I take it out in the cold, it'll get pneumonia and die."

0:25:49 > 0:25:56So, anyway she got a vet in to have a look at it and Shep the dog followed her in.

0:25:56 > 0:26:02And he goes to the cage to get the budgie out, opens the cage, the budgie flies out,

0:26:02 > 0:26:06alights on the mat, the dog jumps on it and no budgie.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11He picks it up, the vet, looks at it, he says, "This budgie's not egg bound," he says.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14"It's got a tumour." And with that, he just threw it in the fire.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19So Madge says, "Good heavens, my lads'll go mad. What did you do that for?"

0:26:19 > 0:26:24He said, "Well, cremation is the most hygienic thing, madam. That will be 7/6d."

0:26:24 > 0:26:25THEY LAUGH

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Oh, give the flaming thing here, Dan! He gets on me nerves with it at times that thing,

0:26:33 > 0:26:35going on with himself instead of being a good boy.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39I was telling you about this new job I've been after, you see.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40She asked me, would I do the carpets?

0:26:40 > 0:26:46I told her I didn't want to do the carpets. I'd already done the big one in the parlour.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48She didn't say to me she wanted any carpets.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51What she wanted to know was why I'd left my other place.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53So I told her it was over the c...

0:26:53 > 0:26:54RASPING BUGLE NOTE

0:26:54 > 0:26:58The landlord came up and he said, "Is your sister still living here?"

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I said, "Yes. You can't put her out..."

0:27:00 > 0:27:01BUGLE NOTE

0:27:01 > 0:27:05So I started to speak to her and I said, "I suppose you're wondering why

0:27:05 > 0:27:09"I'm reading my bible in here." She said, "Well, it did seem a bit..."

0:27:09 > 0:27:10BUGLE NOTE

0:27:10 > 0:27:15You won't carry the can back, I've got to carry the can. But I'm not carrying the can for no...

0:27:15 > 0:27:16BUGLE NOTE

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Talk, talk, talk.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20I love to listen to it. Go round in the mornings,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23down the street, yap, yap, yap.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25'People say to me, big-hearted Vera...'

0:27:25 > 0:27:29- 'You won't carry the can back...' - 'I've taken the delight all my life...'

0:27:29 > 0:27:33- 'I'm not carrying...'- 'Talk, talk - I love to listen to it.' - 'The landlord came...'

0:27:33 > 0:27:35BUGLE NOTE

0:27:43 > 0:27:47The old attitude of everybody was you were finished.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51You were too old. Go, go, go.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56I would have liked to worked on, but they threw me out, because I was old.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's a sin to grow old, you know.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04We had an old lady here and...she...

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Everybody would run and get her a cup of tea and they'd wait on her

0:28:08 > 0:28:12and do all those little things, but she'd always say, "Nobody wants me."

0:28:12 > 0:28:18I mean if you take that attitude, you can't expect anyone to want you, can you?

0:28:22 > 0:28:26I could take a £1 out this morning, lay it out and I wouldn't see anything for it.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Look at the price of your butter.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32We got the best butter when I was a girl at 8d a pound,

0:28:32 > 0:28:37and the best roll of bacon at 6d. 24 eggs for a shilling.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Two pound of sugar...

0:28:40 > 0:28:42..a pound of margarine...

0:28:44 > 0:28:49..and I think I'll take a pound of cooking fat, I'm a bit short.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53How long have people been having good material things, how long?

0:28:54 > 0:28:58They haven't had it above, what, 20, 30 years?

0:28:58 > 0:29:03This release from sheer anxiety about where the next meal was coming from.

0:29:03 > 0:29:10If, when the pressure is lifted, they should go a bit daft for ten minutes, who's to blame?

0:29:10 > 0:29:12And who's to wonder at it?

0:30:35 > 0:30:40I'd been carrying about munitions and water.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Dead and wounded were lying about.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46And as I lay there, a voice alongside me said,

0:30:46 > 0:30:50"Look, Murphy. There's a little buttercup."

0:30:50 > 0:30:53I said, "Well, what about it?"

0:30:53 > 0:30:58"That must be the good seed falling on the good ground.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01"We must be the bad seed falling on the rocks."

0:31:06 > 0:31:09My dad used to go away to sea, right.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12He was very hard on my mother, you know.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14He used to give her beatings for nothing.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16She was a very hard-working woman.

0:31:16 > 0:31:21And, um...when he came home from sea, all the money would go over the counter.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25And then, of course my mother died on Christmas Eve.

0:31:25 > 0:31:30She left me, 14, the little baby, 12 months old,

0:31:30 > 0:31:34and another one, four.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Me dad stayed with us eight weeks,

0:31:37 > 0:31:40and then he got a ship and went away and left us.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43So, of course he died after, you know.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Then I had more trouble on me plate, like.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Me husband never, ever got much work

0:31:49 > 0:31:52and I had to work all me life.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56But thank God, God's been very good to me and His Holy Mother.

0:31:58 > 0:32:03It's a bit of a lousy life, taking it all round from top to toe.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11I was a big baby and I was a fat little girl,

0:32:11 > 0:32:16a fat schoolgirl, a fat young woman, and now I'm a fat old woman.

0:32:16 > 0:32:17SHE LAUGHS

0:32:17 > 0:32:18Happy days.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23We're all part of a great mass.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27This great mass is just split up into little bits. We're the little bits.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29I'm part of you, you're part of me.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32GIRLS SING

0:32:33 > 0:32:35The agony of our time

0:32:35 > 0:32:39is this overhanging threat.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43What can you say about that? The overhanging threat of the atomic bomb.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47# Goodbye, Betty, while you're away

0:32:47 > 0:32:50# Send me a letter to tell me when you're better

0:32:50 > 0:32:53# Goodbye, Betty, while you're away

0:32:53 > 0:32:57# And don't forget your old pal, Anne

0:32:57 > 0:33:00# Goodbye, Anne, while you're away

0:33:00 > 0:33:03# Send me a letter to tell me when you're better

0:33:03 > 0:33:07# Goodbye, Anne, while you're away

0:33:07 > 0:33:10# And don't forget your old pal, Pat

0:33:10 > 0:33:13# Goodbye, Pat, while you're away

0:33:13 > 0:33:16# Send me a letter to tell me when you're better

0:33:16 > 0:33:19# Goodbye, Pat, while you're away

0:33:19 > 0:33:23# And don't forget your old pal, Nora. #
