Mum would fill out an order book, there was no choice then on what you could get. Butter, margarine, tea, sugar, soap, eggs - all the daily requirements were rationed without the choices there are today.
Once a week the food deliveries would come, sometimes a midweek one as well. Vegetables we got from the market when we took the bike down there. A lot of people would grow their own vegetables then.

As a child just after the war we remember when things came off rationing particularly sweets.
