Do you remember when Quality Street had colours?

 I remember way back aged 9- It snowed on Christmas eve and over night. That hardly happens in London at this time of year... My mum and dad hustling us in to a Red Morris 1100 named 'Prudence'. My brother Steve and me excited for the big day. We were choristers at St Pauls Church, South Harrow, we picked up our friend Richard and his dad and we drove about a mile and a half to sing midnight mass. I still remember that night with what can only be described as colour and magic...oh yes and singing our hearts out. I dont know how we all fitted into the car- 3 adults and us 3 kids. 

On the way back we had to drop Rick and his dad off at the bottom of the steep hill we lived at as the car kept sliding back down the hill. It was so icy.....
