As a child, we had a bath but no running water so we had to fill up buckets of hot water from the ascot in the kitchen which was upstairs and carry it down to the next level to fill the bath!!! We didn't have a phone either and had to use Betty's at the end of the street! Lovely J L card at the end of the post too! xSimonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-62146257917596866852012-06-05T10:30:52.606+01:002012-06-05T10:30:52.606+01:00Thank you for such an interesting post, Jane.

I remember the Queen making the first trunk call from the Bristol telephone exchange sometime in the late 1960's so I grew up with 'press button A, push button B' although for the life of me I can't remember what you had to do.You're right about our rose coloured glasses view of the <br />1950's. The passage of time has a habit of blurring the reality. As one of those individuals who has never known anyone but the Queen on the throne this was a great reminder of a great event.

I remember my mum saying they all piled into a neighbour's house to watch the Queen's Coronation - they were the only family on the street to have a TV and they relished showing it off!<br /><br />I have very fond memories of the Silver Jubilee when we had a huge street party where we lived in London.
