'Sewn in' for winter ??

Just realised this thread originated in 2015, but not picked up by 1l2e until today.

"not picked up by 1l2e until today"

And I say, a tip of the hat to 1l2e.  He has made a very amusing contribution.

He certainly brightened up a wet September day for me.

It has enlivened a wet Sunday, but, it just shows how easy it is these days to make allegations of abuse and how hard it can be to refute them.

Besides the decades  , the street address he provided is another good giveaway  (I doubt anyone who lives/lived on that street sewed their children in! - millionaire prices).
I'll take a guess he is very young.
I have just come back from our state finals of a school tournament, where one group of children genuinely thought facebook  was invented in the 1950's lol (to make it worse- these were secondary students and not primary)
Kind regards

What a pity he didn't save it for April Fools day.    As you say, Maida Vale not very likely, it would have been easier to believe if it had been the 1940s and the East End of London. Gave everyone a good laugh though.

"Leash"
"Diaper"
"Paddling"

When you say London, do you mean London England?

Also mentioned was "going to the bathroom".

It was the era, 'Diaper' (Nappy) & 'Leash' (Reins) which made me wonder although 'Bathroom' is a word I use from where I was brought up which is a large Scottish city.

The initial part of the story was slightly believable having never heard the expression 'sewed in' but the replies to different questions & evading of others became more of a concoction 

I feel sorry for people who need to act like a 7 year old to gain attention 1l2e & from looking at your history this is the only thread you have participated in i.e. I would suggest you take up a decent hobby such as genealogy which may improve your brain cells

He probably would have got away with it if he'd set it in an earlier decade and not gone over the top e.g being sewn into the complete uniform.

He obviously didn't realise that as genealogists we question everything and don't take things at face value.
