‘My Nan used to do us chicken leg with the crispy skin on and crinkle cut chips with peas. It was served with pre-2000 levels of salt and was the tastiest thing ever. I only ever had crinkle cut chips at Nan’s house. I’m vegetarian now so I’ll never have that sort of meal again but it was good stuff.’

Listening to the Home Service/Radio 4 (no TV) sitting in front of the two bar electric fire. I miss her so much and it’s 50 years since she’s gone.’
