REBECCA: Grandma, when were you born?
GRANDMA: Oh, I was born in 1940.
R: And where were you on your 13th birthday?
G: I was in London. I remember that birthday party very well.
R: Why? Was it good?
G: Yes, it was.
R: Where was the party?
G: It was in the street.
R: In the street!?
G: Well, it was June 2nd 1953, the same day as Queen Elizabeth's coronation. The weather wasn't very good, but there were parties in every street in the country.
R: Wow! Were they big parties?
G: Yes, they were.
R: And was there any food?
G: Oh yes, there was. There were lots of chicken sandwiches and tea and beer. My family was very poor, but that year my birthday party was wonderful.
R: Were your friends with you?
G: No, they weren't. They were at other street parties with their families. But I was very happy because there were about 300 people at my party.
