As an old lady she liked to tell people she had been a stripper to shock them – what she had been was a stripper of tobaccon leaves! There is a film of them at work in the museum that she told me about – but they canot let me see it 🙁

The post war period comes alive. The ‘Female Window Cleaner’ in high-heeled footwear certainly had stamina!

I am not familiar with use of ‘Knut’ — on No. 66, British Officer. Is this a political reference?

The barber must surely have inspired Agatha Christie. My favourite is the WAAC, with her beautiful autumnal uniform.
