That was tough on your Mum Dev, they certainly were hard times for back then. Our Late clib secretary Roy Olliver was one of 13 children, he was a big, strong and what you saw is what you got kind of man, he always said he was dragged up, not brought up. God rest him.Devo1956 wrote: βSat Mar 16, 2024 10:55 am Being from a family of 15 children, first up best dressed. My dad was Catholic and my mother was in the church of England. So i have to say there was some days you just did not want to happen. My mother would always say, Religion did not put bread on the table, and to be honest we went through a lot of that. Before i was born, my mother lost a son and 2 daughters, all in early stages of life. So living in a one bedroom home, it was like 6 in the bed with crash helmets on. But we got by, plenty of scouse and bread. That is how life was, for many years. I grew up not wanting to have any religion, i had seen enough argument over the years. And help clear up the mess, when all was over. So every day is a normal day for me.
You turned out ok mate, good on you
