It would be interesting to find out if vegetarians had to have meat coupons, or if they got something else instead. We never knew any veggies at that time, but I would like to know.<BR/><BR/>Has your Mum started reading these yet?<BR/>___________________________________<BR/><BR/><BR/>Croom<BR/><BR/>I've no idea what happened to my collection, but I certainly would love to see them again.

You little devil you! <BR/><BR/>I don't remember rationing, of course, since I was born in the fifties, but I think my family weathered it all rather well - my Grandmother kept a small shop and would often slip my parents butter and sugar etc that she had going spare because people didn't want to use their coupons on them for some reason.<BR/><BR/>Apparently my elder brother, then very small, used to announce the appearance of Grandma by shouting 'Here comes beanies!!'<BR/><BR/>She used to bring him Smarties, bless her.
