British Summer Time Begins on Radio 4

[nauticant]

This is a fascinating programme of how we used to spend the Summer Holidays, 1930-1980. Filled with hair-raising tales of children running wild, including with guns, sergeant major nannies doing impromtu field surgery on little feet, and many many other things to wince or boggle over.

It's a Book of the Week abridged reading! If you like the programme, you can buy the book (the radio show is about 10,000 words, you get a lot more in print )
