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.

Neither can I and I am 5 years older. Steak was 2/6 a pound stewing beef 2/0 a pound. for our younger members we are talking 12.5 p for steak and 10p for stewing steak. That was in 1954 and I can go back further than that.
Chip shop yes but any other outlet no, apart from spud pie on our way home from a night out in Accy.
My mum made pastries, jams, butter and many other tit bits.
A rabbit now and again....trotters, tripe, cow heel made into a stew.
Luckily I and almost all of my mates at that time did'nt either...and that was in Church.
