After rationing stopped it was still hard to get sweets
Some people remember having a gas fridge others a paraffin heater in the kitchen, one man remembers his mother sending him for paraffin
Old fashioned boiler to wash clothes husband lit it before he went to work. Took all day to wash.
All washing in the bath rung it in the wringer clothes aired in the kitchen
Sweets
· Liquorice torpedoes
· Sherbet dips
· Gobstoppers
· Jelly beans
· Mint imperials – one person always brought these as they could get more for their money
They drank Corona Pop and Ginger beer
They were reading Beano, Dandy, Topper some could not afford them
One lady every Monday after school went to the Birmingham Hippodrome to the early show to see the stars
