Good thread this folks!..

Did you know? Bread pudding and bread and butter pudding and loads of other dishes were made up in and after the war years because there could be NO waste. I remember seeing mum cutting the green mould of the bread...My kids would go spare now if they saw me doing that lol (ssshhhh they love my bread pud ;) )

smiths crisps,now they were really tasty,then they were bought out by golden wonder,who in turn were bought out by walkers...and the taste has gone. chasing the chickens early sunday mornings,so my dad jones could catch one for dinner......naughty me lol. bryan.

thank god my son doesnt read this, its one of his favourite sayings , and has been known to boast about the fact hes a war baby, hes 13 and was born early, when the first gulf war was on , his doctor was out in iraq looking after the troops, but made it back in time for his own son to be born the day before our son. i wonder where he is now.

I used to like that orange juice for babies and young children that was got from the clinic, also my mum used to bake stale bread in the oven till it was really hard, that was our teething rusks. Lin.
