Burberry coats and platform heels

When I was a girl, we used to have to wear in the winter something what was called a Liberty Bodice, made of like a flannelette sort of material, and they were quite warm. Mum used to buy them and I used to buy them for my daughter.– Joyce

Stolen goods was very much part of the lifeblood of the area in a way: ‘Oh you want a Burberry coat? Oh well there‘s the factory, someone works in the factory.’– Penny

Platform heels, I got married in a pair of ’em.– Joyce

Watney Market, I think we last went a few years ago, and mum was looking at jewellery for us to wear at Eid, and I think I said no because I didn’t want jewellery for Eid. I remember her buying fish, and she bought scarves. Its somewhere that I would go only with her, it’s not somewhere I would travel to on my own. – Nishat
