Was raised on a council estate in Coventry which supplied most of the 'Humber' factory and G.E.C workers. After the war Coventry became known as the 'UK Detroit'. The only memories of the 'Humber' factory I have was that they were always downing tools and had their meetings on the playing fields adjacent to our school. Oh the memories.
