The Anderson Shelter

Hilda Bloggs: 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 Bloggs: 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.
he roof got all smokey 'cause I used to read in bed with a candle

Hilda Bloggs: Yes, it was nice at the war really.
The shelters, the blackouts, cups of tea

Jim Bloggs: The A.R.P., the evacuees,
London kids seeing cows for the first time

Hilda Bloggs: Old Churchill on the wireless!

Jim Bloggs: Those were the days
