The other thing that was quite different then, was that we were allowed milk. We were allowed a certain amount of milk every day but glasses were in very short supply, and probably as children we鈥檇 have broken them anyway, so we used to drink out of jam jars. The milk was measured every day in a jam jar and we drank the milk. I always enjoyed milk then, as I do now.
I remember one particular boy didn鈥檛 like milk at all, but Miss Blondel knew how important it was with the food shortage that he should drink the milk. She reminded me a while ago how she persuaded him to drink the milk by giving it to him in a thimble. She persuaded him to just drink one thimble of milk, and then gradually she increased it and introduced it into the jam jar, so that within a short time he got used to drinking the milk which it very important.
