Beginning in 1947, we went to Scarborough every year for our summer holiday ...... or for day trips if Mum and Dad couldn't afford a week or 2 weeks.The last time I went on one of those family holidays must have been about 1955 |

:-D didn't sing in the car but we did used to make the school bus echo with our singing, We had two sometimes three double deckers that went to our high school from my home town, journey just over half an hour. It used to be said people could hear our buses coming. |

Barbra in those days the driver was enclosed but we had conductors, they always seemed to be happy and good tempered so I wonder in retrospect if they were specially picked for the job. It was much too far to walk, Probably about 10+ miles and up and over Portsdown Hill. |
