Growing up in Portobello (Edinburgh) in the 1940s and 50s

[@stuartstein7495]

My dad was born in Kings Road with his twin brother and was about the same age as James. He was from a large family and did a New Year's swim every year after the Bells. I remember Porty as a kid when all those places were still there: the open-air pool, baths, amusements.

You didn’t go out with a dollar in your pocket, probably half a crown.

Up your back and down your belly that's the way to portobello. It's where the pitz is bud.
