When I was about 13 or maybe 14, at school we were learning about Hitlers rise to power and the subsequent world war that followed.
For my project I wrote about Hull in the blitz and how it affected the people who lived through it. As my Grandma lived on Hessle road at the time of the war, I reckoned she would give a pretty good eye witness account of the time, so I set about recording an interview with her about it.
Well, the tape has turned up again in some boxes at my mam and dads, so Im quite looking forward to listening to it after all this time! I just need to sort my tape player out...hadn't anybody heard of MP3 in 1983? Tsch...!
(By the way, any of the family who is interested in hearing it, let me know)

do you have tape to tape if not i think we have got one here can i have a copy. it would be good to hear it and a bit emotional as well i would imagine......did you ever see the cine film of her, i think it was barbara that had it transferred onto video.
just a little footnote to this............did she answer any of your questions with the classic "GO SHIT"
Not seen the cine film, and I can't remember how she answered...although it wasn't really questions and answers, it more just her talking about it from what I remember, so she was in her element!
Apparently grandad can be heard in the background washing the dishes :-) (even though it was taped in the living room)
I think I have tape to tape, but ill check sometime this week
Yes, I'd definitely like to see that - and get a tape if I could.
I wouldn't mind a copy of it please.
Could you email me a copy lol.
Only jesting.
