I don't think the vicarage would have lino, more like polished wood, in the public part of it, anyway, the rooms where the vicar did parish business. Maybe in the kitchen, and this play wasn't in that part of the house.

I remember the first electric radiogram I saw - a large cabinet about the size of a Hoover washing machine with spindrier. Much later than '47, though. The girl whose house it was in was very proud of it, and its autochanger. I thought that was a brilliant idea, until I saw that it didn't turn the classical 12 inch 78's over on to side 2 for you. But it was an advance not to have to wind up before the end of the side.

I almost feel moved to ask if anyone has a 78 of "Jingle Jangle Jingle" or Clapham and Dwyer's dialogue retelling Cinderella, what I trod on.
