REWIND: It was not a clean sweep

“CHIM chiminey, Chim chiminey, Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky, As lucky can be,” sang Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins in 1964. His ‘Cockney’ accent remains a global symbol of horror, but the song’s lyrics touched on a superstition which died out with the mass use of open fires. There was a time when sweeps were commonly invited to weddings, as their touch was said to bring good fortune. By 1973 the tradition was quaint enough to merit a newspaper story and picture. Exactly 42 years ago today we carried a photo of a happy couple being greeted with a handshake by a top-hatted man carrying a set of brushes.
