In the photo accompanying Douglas d'Enno's "A tribute to old 'Steady'" (The Argus Weekend, October 27), Mr and Mrs Charles "Steady" Pettitt are both smiling.
This is odd, for in old photographs people usually felt disinclined to smile because of the grimness of their day-to-day existence.
Although, after producing eight children, he probably had something to smile about. Steady work, indeed.
