Joan Anderson, arguably London's oldest working waitress! Her tales of working in Gordon's Wine Bar, the oldest bar in London, her plans to invite Chris Evans and Billie Piper to her 90th (they came to her 80th!)
Joan Anderson still works part time at Gordons Wine Bar - the oldest bar in London. She first went in the bar in 1952 and has been going every since. She liked it so much that she asked for a job in her 60s. She talks of her love of the bar, how she'd like to be remembered .. and why Chris Evans and Billie Piper will hopefully make an appearance at her 90th birthday party this year.

A War Evacuee .. Twice!
Stan Chester tells us what it was like to be an evacuee - and that he had the 'pleasure' of being evacuated twice! The first time was on Sunday 3rd September, the day war broke out. With his name labelled on his jumper, he left his school gates in Ealing to Flackwell Heath nr Bourne End where a family took him for a year. Since London was not bombed during that time, he wanted to go home back to Ealing. It was a year or so later when the threat escalated that he was evacuated for the second time - but this time to Newton Abbot where he stayed for nearly 2 years .. both times without seeing his mum or dad and only receiving the occasional bit of money!

This film was inspired from May’s Memoirs that she has written at the request of her grandsons which takes her from birth at Leeds Maternity Hospital and her early memories of her grandparents from Ukraine and Lithuania to her wedding in 1949, being a teacher, a mother and now a grandmother. Recorded on a Kodak Zi8.
