annwfynGah! I'm feeling frustrated today.
I want to write random tat prose, set in 1943, but there's just so much I don't know!
I don't know what kind of social class a train driver and his family would be. I think respectable working class, but I'm not sure. I don't know what kind of areas of London they would have lived in, I don't know what the standard of living was for the respectable working classes in the 1940s, or the limitations placed on teenage girls in that time frame.
I sort of know bits, but not enough, and I don't know where to start looking.
Bah! And humbug!
