I blame my brother and his friends for leading me astray. I had to stay behind to look after him - and I always seemed to bring him home broken! We still laugh about the time he fell off the roundabout and ended up with his head sideways on his shoulder (that's our memory of it anyway)!!
He and his little friends liked trainspotting (steam trains then) and they'd go down to the station - and take me with them as I had a special job to do there. Imagine me, podgy little girl with NHS glasses in a homemade frock, ribbon in my hair, going up to a train driver to ask to climb up in his cab!
As soon as he said yes, all the grubby little boys in short trousers, socks round their ankles, tousled hair, would appear out of nowhere and pour into the cab behind me!!
By the time we'd get home, we'd be covered in coal dust and smoke smuts.
So SC, I was the goody goody, looking after my little brother, not a handful at all. Smile

On another note, we had such freedom then and no health and safety restrictions or fear of strangers. So different to these days.
