Bags (bags I, baggys) in London ('40s) too.

Though I wonder how reliable our memories are. I've moved around a bit. Childhood in N. London, the 4 years in N. Staffs mixing with students from all over the place, first job on Teeside, married a Yorkshire man and lived in Cheshire ever since. Plenty of chance for cross-contamination.
