sink bucket

A sink bucket Today I forgot to buy milk, drank black coffee  it is easy to remember the past shines like jewels It was the winter of 1952, and my brother carried a big sink bucket, I was the smallest one and we were on our way to the coal depot to find a hole in the fence to steal coal. We were caught by a man who wore an armband of the new people in command they were taking no nonsense from anyone least of all seven-year-old thieves. I have often seen that you put a uniform on someone who who never had power, they behave like little Hitler sprats. On the way home with two empty buckets, we came across a wooden fence that had partially fallen, we took as many planks as we could carry and had a warm Christmas Eve
