I do believe that Elizabeth gave as good as she got. And rightly so! I should be careful David, very careful.

I've been reading Mrs Shackletons diaries again.
What was 'the scrat'? She mentions it a few times.

Not 100% sure but I think it was the food they took to work for lunch.

I don't think so Gloria. From what I remember, she refers to 2 people who have the scrats, and a few. Or not many. I wondered if it was either some kind of vermin or lice or something along those lines

"Peggy Nutter has the scrat - not a few."

Is it me or is this link no longer working?
If it's not, does anyone know if the Elizabeth Shackleton diary is still online anywhere please? I was telling my mother-in-law about it earlier and wanted to send her the link.

I came across this recently. Not all the diaries, but some interesting extracts:

Thanks Maureen.
I bought the book 'Bonnie Colne' by Peter Wightman recently. That has some of the diary extracts in it.
