There was mention in the post about the New Hal of my gran's friend, Lil Andrews. Lil was a well known local character who, when I was very young in the 1950s, occupied one of the redbrick corrages in the High Street along with her son, Ralph 'Sailor' Andrews, a former mariner, One day Lil was unfortunate enough to kose her false teeth down the loo and, in an effort to recover them, 'Sailor' excavated the sewage outflow pipe in the garden.
Luckily for all concerned his efforts were in vain and a new set of dentures had to be purchased.
