As it was lunchtime we all went to the nearest fish restaurant & queued for ages for a table for the best fish & chips on a plate with
tea bread & butter. Posh eh? You might guess there on the next table was our next door neighbour Think they'd told mi dad they were going to Torquay [which as a lad I thought was abroad]
Happy days
