I really love the historic authenticity of some your poems and stories...
they have a flavor of that time period that only can be written 
by having lived through it.

Everyone is spoilt for choice Taps, but I am afraid a lot of stuff is just marketed as something wonderful, we know a bar of oats stuck with syrup is not manna.

Re: Re: Re: Kabu
I think grain was rationed for quite a time Kabu. I can't remember much about clothes coupons as we had plenty of ex army clobber to choose from.

Those lived in a war zone always experienced rationing of food.

Shopping in those days was nothing like it is now.
I really liked it better then. Things were more appreciated because they were hard to get.

Re: Re: Kabu
yes there was tationing in Australia too because we sent food to the dear old mother land and to the troops. but it was over when I was born. Mum's cousin lived in the UK somewhere and she sent food parcels until they came to Australia to us.
Even in 1962 the first time I went to England the war was still evident everywhere.

I am learning a lot about rationing. Thankfully, I've never had to partake in it.

Re: Kabu
Well one had to think of the poor seamen who brought extra food with all the perils of Uboats. War is nasty as we all know, keep warm.

My father used to tell me about rationing when we had bread and milk for supper.

How terrible rationing must have been I really cannot have any true idea
spoilt little brat that I was/am. The eggs were a great way to go, sharing resources like that Good Lad.
