It has been said that George and Lucy were a bit like Jack Spratt and his wife. George - jolly and stout, well liked , Lucy - tall thin and mean faced but kinder than she looked, especially to the children when they called in at the Fish Shop ! They didn't have beer pumps at the Ball and George, known as Ossie, would bring beer up in large white enamel jugs.
