Is "Old Time" like God's time we heard about a while back, meaning none of that Government Daylight Savings nonsense?

Is there some relationship to this Hickey?

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

Anna Pavlova (Pavlovna) (1881?-1931) was a Russian ballerina. She joined the Imperial Ballet in 1899 and became a prima ballerina in 1906. Her American debut was made with Mikhail Mordkin, on March 1, 1910, at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, in a revival of Delibes's ballet, Coppelia. After the debut a New York critic declared such dancing had not been seen on the local stage during the present generation and praised the supreme ease with which Pavlova executed the most difficult tricks of the dancer's art. After 1913, she danced independently with her own company around the world. Some of her more famous dances include The Dragon fly, Californian Poppy, and Gavotte. "Pavlova is perhaps most renowned for creating the role of "The Dying Swan", a solo choreographed for her by Michel Fokine. The ballet, created in 1905, is danced to Le cygne from The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns." Pavlova was married to her accompanist, Victor d'Andre. The marriage was announced by the dancer during her last American tour in 1924-25, which was said to be her farewell appearance in this country. Commenting on her marriage at that time, the dancer said:

"For an artist there is no husband. Pavlova the artist and Pavlova the wife, they are two very different persons, so I keep them separate. My dancing belongs to the world, but my husband to myself."

Anna died of pleurisy at the height of her fame in 1931. She is considered one of the finest classical ballet dancers in history. [1] [2] [3] [4]
