My mum tells me stories about what she and her brothers and sisters did during the war except the stories what she tells arent lancashire ones because she was brought up and got married in northern ireland and didnt come over here until 1949/50. But because the republic of ireland was neutral they had tins of peaches etc that you couldnt get in the UK due to rationing so people went over the border for them especially as she only lived about 3 miles from the border.
