    "...at Hickey's..." I belive the correct term is traumatic decompression haematoma.

    I knew a farmer once who would stay on "old time", in his case he ignored the one hour movements in March and October. British Summer Time was first established by the Summer Time Act 1916, after a campaign by builder William Willett. His original proposal was to move the clocks forward by 80 minutes, in 20-minute weekly steps on Sundays in April and by the reverse procedure in September. In 1916 BST began on 21 May and ended on 1 October.

    DannyM8 So do you reckon the bus service ignored the change in the hour then (presumably alongside other people like your farmer, or maybe to suit people like your farmer)?
  • DannyM8 said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons It seems that Old Time was a rural and farming practice. listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1303&L=seanchas-l... When the idea was introduced in Ireland it was adopted in the towns and cities, but not everywhere by farming communities. In the rural district in which I lived the newly-introduced summer time was called "New Time" but we had "Old Time" all year round. We had to be careful when planning to attend an event elsewhere; was it "New Time" or "Old Time"

    Betting that some of you were reared in a house with an ODEAREST mattress?

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons You completely spoil me with a wonderful clock showing noon! And it's my birthday!
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    I would have made the advertisement, "Put your money under a good mattress." Safer than banks.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Shamelessly going to pretend that we knew! Happy Birthday!

    The CZO reg. on the Hillman Hunter would suggest post 1968.

    Is "Old Time" like God's time we heard about a while back, meaning none of that Government Daylight Savings nonsense?
  • DannyM8 said:
    Is there some relationship to this Hickey?
  • Vab2009 said:
    It is rather timeless - we had a store in Belfast that I was taken into often in the early sixties and even the clothing on display looked like this! It had money tubes.

    Vab2009 There's an old time department store in central Reading that hasn't changed much from those days. Still has the pneumatic money tube system working. www.jacksonsofreading.co.uk/about.htm www.dooyoo.co.uk/department-stores/jacksons/179983/

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Pneumatic Tube Transport Systems are still manufactured by Quirepace Lamson, formerly Lamson Paragon. I remember the wooden ball Cash Carrier system in Co-op shops in the 1950s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Carrier
