Synopsis

Tin Baths, Hot Summers & Rock ‘n’ Roll moves humorously and heart-warmingly through the tumultuous cultural changes of the last half of the 20th Century and tells of when we were young.

• Times when Social Distancing was limited to those who had a bad hair day with the school nit nurse.
• When Zoom chatting was by two tin cans and piece of string stretched across the street from your friend’s bedroom.
• The WHO knew nothing of viruses but sang songs to tell your parents to FF...ade away.
• Lockdown was where we hid from our mothers in the camp dug underneath our bonfires when they called us in for bedtime.
• And our free school dinners included the delights of liver with huge grizzly pipes running through it. And of course, serving live frogs’ spawn for dessert was still environmentally acceptable.

‘A delightful and passionate read for all baby boomers and also those who would like to know why their parents are so grumpy these days’

This book is an important cultural document. A record of a culture that sadly is no longer with us, and, were it not for this book, would have disappeared from memory altogether in a couple of generations’ (Lord Lambton, 7th Earl of Durham)
