I was raised in a garden shed, I got a lump of coal at Christmas and birthdays and was reliant on catching mice for sustenance - which we* then ooked over a candle...

 

 

 

 

My parents and siblings lived in the (reasonably nice) house, but I lived in the shed.**

 

 

 

* me and Crusty Pippin.

** with Crusty Pippin.

He spoke to Eddie on the night of the 10th Eddie passed away the early hours of the 11th. 

So did he speak to him on the day he died?

I’ll question Single handedly, he leant on ED many many times, even on the day Eddie passed away he had the begging bowl in front of Eddie.

Am I missing something here? Isn't the Jasmine Allen the estate/hotbed of interracial tension from The Bill? 

Thought Mr Grey was taking us on a fictional council estates tangent, hence my Chatsworth comment.

I do Thorpey, Mrs Thorpe (obviously) she did the best ham barms and custard pies 

Had a fair few myself! And the bacon barms, bacon & egg barms, meat & potato pies, fruit pies.

In my bloody element when she got an arcade of video machines put in the back storage room!  Happy days and a good old dear!
