My grandfather met my grandmother in London during the First World War. After, they married and she moved to his home town, Dundee. On the first Friday, she took a jug and crossed the road to the local pub to buy beer to go with his dinner. On reaching her tenement landing, she was met by her neighbour, in a state of alarm.
"Mrs Batchelor, NEVER go into that place again! There's only one kind of woman goes into a pub in Dundee!".
Having lived all the previous thirty years of her life in London, she was taken aback, but that proved to be her one and only visit to a bar in Scotland. | | |

Ann Batchelor?
I went to Hill st. school I lived at 12, Carmicheal St, Dundee. I wonder if we could have gone to school together?
June Agnew, Kenneth Gallagher were in our class.
I have been in Canada since 1958 . Just thought I would check.

Sorry, I was a Wallacetown pupil, in the last Primary 7 of 1963, when the school closed. I was brought up in Victoria Road. Used to have a friend, Mary Smith, who lived in Hill Street and would have been in the school around your time as she was a few years older than me.
