Sidney Day now lives with his family in Dorset. After the war he continued to work as a builder in London before following his daughters to the West Country, living in Yeovil with his wife. He ran a newsagent’s for many years and wheeled his wares around the town’s hospital until retirement. He became a fixture at local car boot sales and enjoyed searching for bargains and making a bob or two. He ran a tiny second-hand shop and was noted for driving an extremely hard bargain.
