Sir, – As I drive around this time of year in Dublin, I see an increasing number of schoolchildren standing around their local shopping carparks.
I was passing by Nutgrove shopping centre in Rathfarnham in Dublin and was brought back to the days of my youth in the 1960s, when each day we (about 20 of us) made our way on foot to Lambs’ fruit farm, the Quaker jam manufacturers. We spent the day picking berries and later walked home, handed over the money we earned, and had our dinner. Great memories. – Yours, etc,
DAMIEN CARROLL,
Kingswood,
