We never got mugs!
But I remember that was when we got a TV and all the neighbours came, about 20 people in our big room all came to see it.

Today I took out of the cupboard my "coronation mug" dated 2nd June 1953. i can just remember lining up at the war memorial and being given the mug by the chairman of the parish council. it is in mint condition perhaps helped by the fact that I was an only child and had a Dad who was very particular about looking after these sort of things.
