I was standing in the queue for ration of mince pies.Everyone was allowed two pies.I was pregnant at the time and there was lots of people.There was a great big queue and lots of people pushing as there was only a limited amount of pies.Because of the big crowd, heat and noise I fainted and was flat out on the floor.I was with my sister and she took me out into the back where the pies were made so I could come round.I managed to come round and I got my pies but the workers in the factory told me they would have to take me out of back way otherwise people would think I had just fainted so I could get my pies and they wouldn't be happy.
