I didn´t feel like watching Taggart so off I went to wander around online.
Not very interesting looking at the 274 Padiham bus but the building on the right caught my attention. It was the local social security office and where I got my first job at sixteen. Not that it was called that then..........and I can´t even recall the name it went under! It was my job to pay out the sickness benefit. Such responsibility for me and my work mate, Marilyn. You had to sign for your biros in those days and were timed when you went to the loo!
Another reason for me to feel quite fond of it was because I met my husband there whilst waiting for the bus to Burnley Mecca one Sunday evening. He was just back from eighteen months in Singapore and was well tanned, very blonde and absolutely gorgeous. Memories!
