    Ye cannae really blame them Debra,they had to do something to keep warm,and it was a gey cauld Winter in '66 :)
    the lobsters were measured from point of the nose to the tip of the tail then,:)
    canny mind the length :)?
    mebey 9ins.
    some folk used tae scrub the berried yins,,
    no a good idea only cuttin yer ain throat...

    about this time the doper ronnie is wearing was actually a MODERN type compared tae the old style without a hood and which we wore the sou, wester,
    oilskin trouser suits were just appearing too but ronnie being frugal wid wear this oilskin out before buying a set..
    a got told they used to wrap the lobbys up in wet newspaper the box them,send um to london on the train,or was thatan earlier time :) :)
    aye that would be 10 years afore this ,mid 50s.
    they had to do a lot of things then to get by,, that folk widny dae now..
