1948 Newspaper
A woman's work is never done!
This woman is cleaning the stairs of the Home Office while a man reads the official announcement of the birth of Prince Charles in 1948.
This comes from an old newspaper which I found in a charity shop. Needless to say I was more interested in the other news and adverts than I was in the royal birth!
Pyrex - look at those prices! (5 shillings = 25p)
Rationing was still in place for a while after the war, and I think that BU means bread unit - each person was allowed so many units per day during rationing.
Not the health advice we would be given today!
I prefer reading the "incidentals" in these old newspapers. But here's a picture of the Royal party at the christening of Charles.
Have a great weekend.
Love, Liz

There was one thing we found. After taking up floors in our house there was a mention of someone my husband was working for recently; Circa 1974. It was about his drink driving conviction. It just goes to show tour past always catches you up.

You wish to read more social matter of these days, am I right...
After the war, people had hard time surviving in Japan. And Emperor at that time went aroud the country to cheer people up.
Oh, Royal party at the christening of Charles. I could guess what you are saying, but thank you vvery much showing me your Royal family when they were young.
Lots of love and Hugs to you, xoxo Miyako*
Firm believer in the fatty breakfast theory, fried bread rocks. I'll pretend I am living in those days of cholesterol ignorance. X
