Everyone knows about Britain in the 1950s, a stuffy old place where there was only one television channel, where "Uncle Mac" played records on the wireless for children every Saturday morning, where most people really did go to church on Sunday. Growing up in a small Cheshire village, Ken Blakemore's experiences were rather more surreal. His recreation of these days reveals the eccentric characters that peopled his world, and the peculiar goings-on that enlivened everyday life. Sunnyside Down paints a gently humorous picture of growing up in post-war Britain.
