This book records the memories of some of them in their own lively words. Funny nostalgic and ironic by turns they tell of hopping as 'a break from him' an escape from the chesty London smog respite from the bombs of war as well as a source of income - and the nearest thing to a holiday that adults or children were likely to get.
