The 2 Units and a Transfer!

It was now Winter 1979, Nathan was crawling around eveywhere, how I remember this was, we had brought ourselves our First piece of Brand New Furniture from Woolworth's.

It was a Small Melamine Unit about 6 feet high by 3 Foot in width it was for holding such things as, Ornaments etc and it had a seperate cupboard space at the bottom, where if I remember correctly we used to keep Nathan's Nappies and Towels etc!

At that time we had our TV in the Front Room, so we had a Portable Radio in the Middle Room, and this was our our New Unit, and with Nathan crawling around, he always kept pulling the Radio Electric Cable, so I had to do something about this, as He would eventually pull the Radio off the unit on to his Head!

So what I did was nail some Tacks all around the bottom of the Radio, to keep it in place when pulled by Nathan, that was probably my first DIY Job, these Days I would have done something more Permanent and Secure!

But that is something we always remember, from back then!

We also had another Wooden Unit in our Front Room, this was brought by Susan's Father (when he got us the three piece suite and carpet) from a Second Hand place, we had this for several years, I found a picture off the Net, which looks just like the one we had!

I always remembered the Drawer on the unit, it was lined with Green Felt Material!

By now I had been at the Butchers for about 5/6 months and wasn't really liking the Job, not so much the work, as that was Easy, but it was the Staff and how it was Run, as I said in Previous Post the Manager and the Assistant Manager were Related, so it was a case of, if your Face Fits!

So I was looking out for a Transfer from that Branch, as Dewhurst's had several Branches in our Area, there was a chance of a move!
