Re: Earliest childhood memory

This lighthearted thread of childhood reminiscence has deteriorated into another slanging match.

Those reponsible for doing that - please desist and take your bitterness to threads designed to display it.

Vaguely remember eating coal in kitchen and playing on a slide at playschool. I vividly remember my baby brother dying and my dad sat at the top of the stairs crying. I can remember seeing him in his cot the same morning and I'm convinced he was alive then. Very strong memory

Re: Earliest childhood memory

Sitting in my pram, unable to move as I was dressed in what they used to call a 'siren suit'!
I was two. Anyone remember siren suits and why were they called in this way??

Yes my brother and sister, born in 1950, had siren suits though I don't remember having one myself.

They were an all in one garment like a jumpsuit, and I think it was Winston Churchill who popularised them during WWII. He certainly wore one. They were so called I think because they were a convenient garment to wear if you were in an air raid shelter during a bomb scare - when the sirens went off.

Siren suits and pin up pompadour curls Appletree Days
