Sunday Nostalgia Thread

[Bobbisox1]

What did you do on Sundays before marriage and babies came along.
I’ve always had bacon an egg for breakfast on Sundays with fried bread ( yummy) then I was scrubbed clean and dressed in my Sunday dress and best shoes and off to Sunday School, do they still exist?
Dinner was alway around 1-30 while the wireless was on with people like Ted Ray in Rays a Laugh,,
Tea time was home made scones and tinned peaches with Carnation milk ( bleugh)
Then my brother was glued to the wireless listening to Dick Barton Special Agent
Bathed in a tin bath in front of a roaring fire the the dreaded Dickie comb, I woluld lie with my Mam cuddled up to her and listen to Sing Something Simple, after that the black and white tv was switched on to watch Sunday night at the London Palladium, I always wanted to stand behind the big glittering letters, happy days indeed

My uncle Cliff Adams was founder of the Adams Singers, Sing Something Simple. I used to get taken to radio studios on a regular basis as a child.

We had no Sunday Routine. I went to Sunday School for three weeks. My parents weren't church goers.

I mainly associate Sundays with things I didn't like: singing in the church choir, and homework anxiety - especially doing and handing in the dreaded 'ink exercise', which had to be written with a fountain pen.

[Bobbisox1]

My parents weren’t either MT, in fact my Dad was Atheist having had Methodism brayed into him when growing up, think pit villages and God fearing folk

[Bobbisox1]

Sundays were always special in our house gg, it always felt different to any other day of the week

And now Sundays for some people is .
Recovering from Sat night haha.

I remember watching Wagon Train at my grandparents. It came on just before the palladium. I loved all the cowboy series there were back then.

Go back to your hero worship of Boris Gully, there’s a good lad

I liked Dixon of Dock Green but I was scared stiff of Quatermass :0)))

Those were the days , but nostalgia's not what it used to be is it

[Bobbisox1]

Bj that’s so old a cliche haha

From the age of seven. Long walk to a long Latin Mass without having had breakfast because of Holy Communion. The priest could eat to keep his strength up. An honorary Aunt who disapproved of this palaver and lived near the church and insisted I go there for tea and toast before walking home.
In the afternoon I had to visit a couple who had been next door neighbours but moved a few streets away. I had to lie to my father about where I was going....that's another story.
If I was lucky both were there. If I was unlucky it was just the man.

Occasionally I could listen to the radio which I loved but that's about the only happy memory I have of Sundays. :-)

Watched quatermass from behind an armchair.

Yes Red. Originally my uncle led a group called the Stargazers. He also was responsible for writing the theme tunes and lyrics to many early Adverts such as Murraymints too good to hurry mints.

[Redhelen72]

Thanks MissT.
Bobbisox so lovely that you were that close to your mother at 13.

[Bobbisox1]

Think I’d best say, the baths in front of the fire stopped at 9/10:0))))
