In 1965 when I was 3 months pregnant with my first child, I saw a beautiful Marmet pram in navy and white going round on a stand in the baby shop window. I was smitten and went in and put £1 deposit on it as it was £36 plus£2 for the bag. I paid £1 a week until it was paid for, but the lady In the shop would not let me have it until the baby was born as it was unlucky to have a pram in the house until all was well. It served 5 children and I kept it and had it remodelled and is now as new and I use it for my great grand son when he visits. It takes up a lot of room but I refuse to sell it as it holds so many memories of all the walks we had. People stop and say how lovely it is to see a baby in a proper pram and it is always the centre of attention whenever we go out.
