Going to the pictures was the best time of the week. They talk a lot today about the violence on the screen, but as children of the fifties we could go every week and see entire Indian populations wiped out by three cowboys. Indians were notoriously bad shots. Every Saturday morning thousands of children would go to their local cinema free of their parents. All were club members with a club song, ours was 'The Welling Granadiers' sung to the tune of the 'The British Grenadiers'.
