I was thirteen when it started. When we came to Coventry it was already badly bombed. I remember whenever the sirens went we had to run for the shelter. We had to go and queue for coke.
I got a job at a bicycle shop in New Buildings, near Fishy Moore's, putting the spokes in bicycle wheels. They were hard days, but people were a lot better then - more friendly and helpful. We were all the same. I miss that now.
