I don't have any memories of Barking as I left there in 1940 as a toddler in the sidecar of a motorbike ridden by my Dad across to my grandparents home in Ickenham during the hours of blackout . However my mother used to tell me I was born "at Barking in the dog's home" - Upney Hospital actually. My Dad was born on the Isle of Dogs so it seemed fitting. Once when I told a fellow East Ender here in NZ where I came from he replied "Woof! Woof!" Is that a common rejoinder?

Cheers, Ann C Best, Wellington, NZ.
