Interesting, when my generation were young we had gas lamps in the house and streets the milk was delivered by horse and cart and you used to have to take out a jug to ladel the milk you wanted, the rag and bone man used to come round every week also when the chimney sweep came round all the neighbors kids used to get up at 5am to watch the sweeps broom come out the top of the chimney. I remember going to the co-op with my granma's ration book to buy some yeast so that she could make bread and Ican still remember her divi number at the co-op 17342. By the way I would like to mention the loaf that my Grandma made used to have to last a week!
