INTVEE lives in a four apartment house with her husband. She takes in lodgers but has not sought permission, she doesn't think anyone on the stair will tell on her. She doesn't want to give up her house as they have spent a lot of money on it and with the rent increases she will have to pay just as much for a two roomed new corporation flat. She has two part time jobs and is critical of the young women who do not work and waste their time gossiping all day. She had seven kids but managed to keep her house tidy. She had lived for 20 years in Leith and had never regretted moving to North Edinburgh. She had been undecided and had the keys for three or four days, the rent was 14 shillings but their single end in Leith belonged to them so they had no rent. She is quoted as saying "I would not got back to Leith if you paid me a thousand pounds". She makes her lodgers wear slippers inside and keep the television low. She's put a notice up in the bedrooms saying "lights out and no talking after 11.30". Her present lodgers watch the television from six to eleven which is an extra shilling in the meter so next ones she will say the must retire to their rooms after dinner and watch television by invitation only. In Leith each four families on a landing shared a lavatory and it was a palaver washing all the children on a Friday or Saturday night in an old wooden tub with pans of water on the fire..
