Re: easter eggs
We didn't even get boiled eggs, we just got lumps of coal - cheap coal at that... and then we were expected to use it on the fire, none of this sitting around admiring it lark...

We still do that except we don't use food dye, we use various plants that contain natural dyes. Red onion skin, flower petals, grasses etc........You place them onto the egg and then wrap the egg tightly in white cotton cloth and boil the egg. When it's hard boiled it's also coloured.
Presumably the tradition goes back to when we were forcibly converted to christianity in the 14th or 15th century.

I almost forgot the best part..............we use the hard boiled eggs in a competition to see who can smash everyone elses egg (bit like conkers but you hold the egg)

You were lucky; in the great coal strike of 59 we had bits of wood and candle wax. Coal, boiled eggs and Easter eggs were what the rich kids had. Christmas was not much better, Matron used to take us to the local cemetery Christmas Eve to show us where Farther Christmas was buried, you tell the kids today, they don’t believe you.

Re: easter eggs

That's the one. - Very funny and appaling design. I wonder if we'll get a billi piper 'rose' egg with a massive protrusion like Peter Davidson had.
