An account on the ninetieth anniversary of the 'dark ship' that tells the story of the Iolaire, the astonishing commitment of the people of Lewis to the war against the Kaiser, its sickening end, & the way of life the disaster effectively destroyed. ...

In " When I Was a Nipper" Alan Titchmarsh goes on a personal & nostalgic journey through post-War Britain in search of treasured values & traditions that were once the soul of society. With characteristic wit, warmth & humour he draws on the experience of his own childhood, & also takes a broader perspective, creating a wonderfully detailed & evocative portrait of a way of life that is fast disappearing, & asks what can we learn from this era of austerity to make our lives better today? Born in Yorkshire in 1949 & brought up in a Britain still recovering from the Second World War, Alan remembers a time of relative calm, when it was enough to return home at night knowing that the house would still be standing. We were known throughout the world for our patience, resourcefulness & resilience. ' Mustn't grumble' was almost a national catchphrase, & queuing was second nature. Illustrated throughout with over 200 wonderful archive photographs, When I Was a Nipper takes us back to those days, down high streets & through farmyards, on to trolley buses & into local pubs. As we move towards a global economy, as communities fragment & customs are lost, When I Was a Nipper captures a world that is fast receding into history. It's powerfully nostalgic for those who remember those days, but it's also Alan's timely call to all recession-hit Brits to heed the lessons of austerity Britain: 'make do & mend'; 'look on the bright side' & 'take the knocks on the chin'. ...

Ah, the past. A time when children could play in the snow without a helmet, crampons & a risk assessment report. When footballs were made from rhino hide & cricket was played with one pad, if you were lucky. When I Were a Lad...looks at the glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health & Safety officers told us we couldn't do everything because it was too dangerous. It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit & take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears with their hands & get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors! These truly were the days that Health & Safety forgot, back when I were a lad... ...
