Fragmentary memories. We emigrated to Winnipeg in early '65, when I was about 2 and sis was about 6 months old. I can recall sitting at a table eating while The Flintstones played on a TV in a corner of the kitchen, and watching people's lower legs passing the living room window, which must have been at below street level. After that, I recall a nightmare I had about a Golly I had coming to life and trying to tickle me mercilessly. There are vague recollections of the carers who looked after sis and I when our parents were at work, and then nothing concrete until we got back to my Gran's house in Scotland (1966-ish) after my mother decided she hated Canada and didn't want to live there anymore. All I really recall thereafter is mainly TV: the planet Mondas moving closer to the Earth during an ep. of the Dr. Who story The 10th Planet; William Hartnell collapsing on the floor of the TARDIS and his face going all blurry as he prepared to regenerate as second Doctor, Pat Troughton; a public information film that used to play between the lunchtime news and Watch With Mother on the BBC that involved an animation of a little workman walking along while things fall behind him, accompanied by the following rhyme:
Sir Isaac Newton told us why
An apple falls down from the sky,
And from this fact it's very plain
All other objects do the same.
A brick; a bar; a bolt; a cup:
Invariably they fall down, not up,
And every common working tool
Is governed by this selfsame rule.
So let your watchword be 'Take Care!'
About the kind of shoes you wear.
It's better to be safe than dead,
So get a [hard]hat, and keep your head.
Why I suddenly remembered that rhyme in 1991, I do not know. I could never remember any of it when it was on air in the 60s.
