Never got any free bread, but we used to call at the bakehouse on the way back from Peel Park school and ask for any squashed cakes......they were a penny.....but sometimes if there were two of us, they would take pity on us and for a penny we would both get a cake........sometimes a cream bun(it wasn't real cream, it was the ersatz stuff....but we didn't mind) we were not very impressed if we just got a bit of fly's cemetery....but we ate it all the same.(sigh)
