Arthur Moir

"It was just picked as a boy, that that was your girl, that was your chosen one. Of course I was a good fella, everybody liked me, I don't know why.

There was this girl, before I was married. I went down in uniform and took her out to the pictures you know. There was none of this kissing and cuddling lark, her mum was very strict with her, just used to shake hands, 'cause in those days if you kissed a girl, you know, used to say well she's going to have a baby. Oh yes! So you just shook hands for the first two or three weeks."
