4、    Fifty years ago I married my soldier sweetheart.Six weeks later, he left to fight in Korea.While he was away for that first year of our marriage,I stayed with my mum and worked hard to keep our savings for our first home.After John returned, we found a home and applied for a War Service Home Loan,which at that time took about six months to come through.

    The builder of our home lived in the same street as our house and he allowed us to move in and pay rent until our loan came through.The rent was one pound and ten shillings per week,which we thought fair.As we got to know our neighbors,several told us to watch our landlord as he was “sharp” and may cheat us in some way.We always replied that he had given us no cause for complaint.

    The loan money came through shortly before Christmas.We were not well-off but we were happy to have our own home.One night,two weeks before Christmas,there was a knock at our door.It was our landlord and his wife.We invited them in and our landlord said,“As you know,your loan has come through and you do not have to pay me rent any more.I did not set that rent,the estate agent(房产代理商)did,and I thought it was a bit high.Every time you paid me I put ten shillings away in a box.It came to 11 pounds.”
