Your memories are different to mine Sylvia and just asked OH for his memories, we both were at schools in the 50s and 60s and at 11 am on the 11th November in our infants, junior and senior schools the school bell rang at 11 am we all stood and were silent until it rang again. My schools were in the Midlands, OH's in Kent.

When I went to work in 1965 the whole factory came to a standstill at 11 when the announcement came on the tannoy that it was 11am, but then that factory had had a direct hit and several employees killed.

My memories are the same as Pat's.

I was at school in the late 1950's and throughout the 1960's.

We always observed the 2 minute silence and had a commemorative assembly in the morning.

This was in Liverpool

So I asked the landlady,
"Do you really think I'm crazy,
Spending my time in here,
Drinking down you watery beer ?".
Then she said that "Life's too short
To spend your time wrapped in worried thought.
Oh come on and drink up dear.
And lay your money down,
And lay your money down".

But I said "Well there must be more"
When some man said he fought in the war
For me and I was ungrateful
He said "Gimme another drink Mable
For all those good times then".
And Mable said "You can say that again".
And they did 'till they were unable.
They laid their money down,
They just laid their money down.

Come on and lay your money down
Come on and lay your money down.

Oh then in the following silence
I tried very hard to make sense.
Of the things that the man did say
When he turned and quickly walked away.
All he said was "Time is money, Oh I've got to go now" and I thought
"That's funny did he really risk his life for me ?"
Or just lay his money down,
He just lay his money down...........................
