They look a bit miserable to say the least

Well they would be miserable, wouldn't they - with a banjo being played... :-)

Never mind the banjo - if I had a massive accordion playing in my right ear I think I'd look blooming miserable too. (Mind you it's a bit difficult to tell with the size of that copy ... I didn't have my magnifying glass with me at the time!)

I see that the girl has left her accordion on the floor. If she was wearing it, you would only see a couple of eyes peering over the top!

Could it be that her mother threatened her with physical violence if she picked it up and started playing ?? That would have been accordion at brain mushing decibels in both right AND left ears

I tried to send a larger copy but the system slapped my wrist

Computer said "NO"

Looks like a typical Sunday teatime round our way as a kid! 'After the salmon and cucumber sandwiches and the cling peaches in Libby's evaporated milk with sliced white bread and butter we had a right old knees up I can tell you!

 

 

We may have been poor but we were miserable!

No bread and dripping, my word I can see how you were depressed.

Talking of unhealthy food,I was invited to a meal last week. The menu The biggest steak and Kidney pudding I have ever seen on my plate and for sweet, Spotted Dick and custard. I waddled away from the table and must admit to undoing a few buttons on the way home.

When we ran a music pub Linda would put on black pudding sarnies and dripping baps ,or jam butties for the veggies
