Washing Day – one thing just leads to another

Charlie is obviously not gainfully employed at this time, too many weekdays spent awheel to be in work.  We can also divine that he gets under his Mother’s feet when it is washing day, which in those times involved using scrubbing boards and mangles.

So off he goes, and has a nice day by all accounts, although we are told nothing about the weather.  But… at the end of the day he is nicked and has his name and address taken by the custodians of the law for a lighting offence.  Whilst he writes rather dismissively of the ‘offence’, if you scroll down to the footnote of the linked page, you will see that it was still preying on his mind in the April of the following year !

  1. Happy New Year David! I’m torn between not wanting to nag, and wanting to let you know that your postings of Charlie’s diary are appreciated and followed avidly. So: no nagging intended, but we’re still looking forward to the links.

    And thanks, as always, for the site.

  2. My apologies to John and David for the missing links from the last couple of posts – I have now inserted these. I’ll try and put it down to being distracted by the festive season but ultimately you caught me red handed :-)
