Happy days indeed John.

 

When I started work in the late 50s I was told that the Skinnergate before the War offered a service called "The penny hing".  This was for unfortunates who could not afford even a dormitory bed.  A rope was strung across a room which was at least wind and watertight and for your penny you were allowed to hang there getting as much sleep as you could.  Come the dawn they would cut the rope!
