Name a chore....

Cutting the grass with the manual mower. I loved the whirring sound it made.

Going to the library for my own books and having to ask the librarian for a “light novel” for my mother.

Taking the empty pop bottles back to the local shop for the deposit. (Didn’t have lots of pop bottles, just a treat now and then).

Scribbles - I remember rolling newspaper sheets and then twisting them together for both sets of grannies. It never seemed onerous though, just helping the grown ups.

Rolling up the pages of the local paper into "tubes" for Gran to lay in the fire grate under the kindling.

Ps my reply was to maw's op.
Some of us were quick off the mark!

I did exactly the same and my first reaction was that I couldn't think of another . However I always enjoyed polishing the big brass doorplate and knocker!
I am trying to persuade the DGCs that it is indeed an enjoyable task and that they should do the same for me.
Right now, mine certainly needs a good going over with Brasso!!

Cleaning out the open fire and putting the ash in the dustbin. Sometimes it would still be hot and the bin would catch fire! Luckily they were metal in those days

Polishing the front step which was made of brass. I wonder if Brasso is still around?
P.S. I just Googled it and it is!

Cleaning the silver cutlery! I hated it!

Going to the butchers on a Saturday morning and asking for a piece of beef/lamb/pork (on rotation) "about six shillings please".

Seem to remember I got a nice sized piece of topside for six bob.
