"Yes, we had a Morrison. Mmmm. I used to sleep in it. I stuck pin-up girls all over the inside. Betty Grabel, Ann Shelton, Tricia Rock. The roof got all smoky, 'cause I used to read in bed with a candle."
"Yes, it was nice at the war, really. The shelters, the blackouts, the cups of tea..."

"Those were the days."
