Roger Waters - The Anderson shelter
It's funny to think there's no shelters this time. We had an old Anderson in the garden. I can see it now. We had nastertiums growing all over it, and we painted the front green. Painted it looked quite pretty. Next door grew cabbages on theirs.
- Yes, we had a Morrison. Mmmm. I used to sleep in it. I stuck pin-up girls all over the inside. Betty Grable, Ann Shelton, Patricia 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
- The A.R.P., the evacuees, London kids seeing cows for the first time
Old Churchill on the wireless
- Those were the days.
