Re: utterly random picture thread.
I bloody love Christmas, but there's a few of those I'd love to put on a tree just for a laugh!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I miss nearly getting food poisoning from untraceable seafood kept in an unrefrigerated old van for God only knows how long....
I think it was only the alcohol in our stomachs that saved us from botulism.

1946. A photograph of baby Patricia asleep in a suitcase whilst Mrs M. Mullins, her mother, tries to feed her two other children, Maureen and Christopher, taken by an unknown photographer for the Daily Herald newspaper in 1946.
Mrs Mullins and her husband had brought their family to Kensington, London, due to the overcrowded housing conditions in Britain after World War Two, they had decided to squat in this room in the Duchess of Bedford House, a luxury flat complex standing empty awaiting repairs until homes could be provided for them. Forty-six flats were occupied by squatters in this way

Late M-in-Law was a midwife soon after then.
Drawers were often used as cots in the slum areas.
