Just can't understand this at all .. you are only a year older than me, and I was fed extremely well, always fruit in the bowl, roast at weekends, home made cakes/biscuits/pies, broths/stews, plenty salad/vegetables. Lovely fruit pies/home made lemonade/jams/bottled fruit etc., and we were not well off ?
Didn't drink coffee then, but was available, and not instant either. Drank mainly water to be honest, but only from choice.
Don't remember any of my friends being without either. ?
School dinners were good too. Did you not stay for school dinners at the Accy High School ? They were good at primary where I went as well Peel Park.
