My Mother used to "pick potatoes" for a local farmer........and the best "Bakers" were hidden under my younger sisters pram mattress.

She also picked "prunes" and "Greengages" from the local orchards.....and guess who had to climb to the top of the ladder for one fruit if it was unsafe for adults?

Collecting coal off the road after the coal man had delivered up our road,.but the best was the "Jublies." Triangular lumps of flavoured ice that were impossible to get to through the tough cardboard!!

For the smokers, Do you remember Cadets (sold in 5's?).........when you are desperate and short of money..........!
