I had one of them when I got my first house! Most of the furniture was old stuff family and friends gave me. I passed it on to my brother when he got a house.
Loads of Tupperware including these mugs. Me and my brother used to fight over who got the orange one

Parents had a few of these up on the wall.
Always remember one holiday when my mam bought one from Spain and brought it through in her luggage, as a young lad seeing the armed police take your mother to one side was pretty scary!

FFS did every house in Sunderland have the same things in it ? I bet somebody else had little red rubber moulds for making Plaster Of Paris figures and an Escalado set with most of the horses missing ?

I have the Cheshire Women's Institute cookbook from 1944. I would cook from it but the chief ingredient in every recipe is turnips.
