My neighbour told me this lovely story today
After the blitz, he was walking past a bombsite where he saw people, possible the occupants of the bombed house searching in the rubble.
They were searching frantically when he heard a man shout "Its here, its here!!"
My neighbour stopped to look when out of the rubble there came a tea pot, in perfect condition, not even chipped.
Curious to know why the tea pot would have been so urgently looked for he thought that perhaps it had a sentimental attachment to the man.
His curiosity was soon answere when the man took off the tea pot lid, put is hand and pulled out a large wad of notes!! Obviously the mans life savings!!
What a lovely ending to the story, although sadly bombed out the family still had their lives savings.
I am intrigued to know which family this was, was it yours?, was this a common occurrence to save life savings in a tea pot ?
Have any members on this site got any heart warming stories to tell of the blitz?
I am very interested to hear them.
