Event	Note: The Army was a result of frustration I was working at Remingtons Chemists for 10 shillings a week. Directly opposite was the Mechanics Institute which was also the Army recruiting centre, being 17 at the time I was well aware that I would be called up, so on the basis that by joining voluntarily I could pick my training I signed up for 5 and 7 Five years service and seven years reserve. I spent one year in Catterick, training. One year working in the war office Comms centre and then three years in France.I came out and went to work for NCR. I got fed up with that and Mum saw an advert for Teacher Training they wanted mature students so I went Macmillan for three years with a better grant than my pay at NCR. While at Macs to supplement my income in the holidays I painted a few house along with Jack Mawson. While we were painting Lincoln Street (almost literally) one of the residents suggested I might like to live there. I said they were no good to me with 4 kids. I pointed across the field at Grange Fold and said that would do. He said Jack wants to sell so after a conversation we agreed to buy it for £2,500, he subsequently upped the price by £1000. We then managed to persuade the corporation to give us a mortgage to buy the lot.
