Broombridge Bathers…
Now, I never did this my self but my brothers very often did and in the nude too. My job was to keep L.O.B. in case any Oul One came along who might squeal to the Ma’ about them. The first lads to jump in would move any dead dogs away or push aside any old bikes or prams that might be lying under the water. But there was no thought ever given to any danger that might be lurking about, the lads just stripped off and jumped in. Most times they never had a towel to dry themselves off with, they might use their shirt or a jumper and that would be that…
