Aye, when I were a lad

I came across an excellent book by Andrew Davies with some nostalgic old photographs of children. (It's been hidden in a cupboard for a couple of years.)
Each photograph is accompanied by a quotation or two.

Page one..."
We had it rough"..
When I were a lad, it weren't all beer and skittles. In fact, it were neither beer nor skittles. If somebody gave you an apple you had to work out where the maggot hole was"

Great stuff.

Ah well. Until tomorrow....
