My mother stopped sending me after a bit. I heard her telling one of the neighbours she wouldn't buy vinegar from Mrs Mayor again as she was watering it down !
that reminds me of eating all the crusty corners off the bread,,comming home from the bakers,,,,,and talking of viniger ,do you remember fennings fever cure,it tasted just like viniger but i liked it and kept sneaking a bit ,,,my mother thought it was evapperating....lol
