I could be out skating with Ginger, I could be exploring with Tom, the rest the gang are at football, and here am I, shopping ? with Mum. (A huge sigh). Gosh! As Mrs. Young tries on her seventh hat Danny almost wishes the holidays were over and he was back at school. He and his mother, of Gateshead, Co. Durham, were at the sales in Newcastle. That's the seventh hat Mum, has tried on, and we're getting nowhere ? fast. And I could be out with the gong, fishing, or playing ***** Such are the melancholy thoughts of eight-year-old Danny, unwilling prisoner in a bargain basement. January 09, 1953.
