Belmonth in the 50s and before the father worked a 6 day week not a 5 day week.

When relatives came over. Kids did not always sit at the dinner table. If they did in some homes they were not allowed to talk at the dinner table. I used to call it the uncle Tony rule.

When my kids were growing up I wanted silence at the table because everyone was complaining about what happened during the day. So I would say uncle tony rule for silence at the table.
