Hilda: "It's funny to think there's no shelters this time. We had an old Anderson in the garden. I can see it now! We have stertians growing all over it, and we painted the front green. Painted it looked quite pretty! Next door grew cabbages on theirs."
Jim: "Yeah. We had a Morrison. Mmm, I used to sleep in it. I stuck pin-up girls all over the inside. Betty Grabel, Ann Shelton, Tricia Rock. The roof got all smoky 'cos I used to read in bed with a candle."
Hilda: "Yes, it was nice at the war really. The shelters, the blackouts, cups of tea."
Jim: "The A.R.P., the evacuees, London kids seeing cows for the first time."
Hilda: "Old Churchill on the wires!"
Jim: "Those were the days."
