“On a Friday night we used to go to the Community Centre and there were competitions and you got a prize if you were singing or such. You got half a crown if you won but you had to sing and dance your heart out because, I went to dance classes. My Grandpa had got me a beautiful blue party dress and I sang “Alice Blue Gown” and “I took my penny you see, to see the tattooed lady!” I used to win quite a lot. My rival was Veronica Dick, she sang all the Scottish songs but she didn’t dance!”
