We had no electric until well into the 60s, no bathroom and a toilet at the top of the garden,..no services at all except the bin men, no shops anywhere close, so it was a good job we had an old Morris traveler

do I miss those days?... hell no, none of us really need electric at all,...although a toilet is good...

although I am a city boy, mother was a farmers daughter, and my wife was an agricultural worker-went to Bicton agricultural college in the 60s, I was brought up with Dartmoor on my doorstep.
