As a boy I remember Mortons shop in the Crescent-last shop before the corner of Moss Lane -just down from Dr Flanergans, There was a Blonde woman whoes mother served in the shop, when you got bread from Her she was s**t hot making sure she got all your "BUs"(Ration Points)before she gave you the bread-which she put into an open OXO tin-if You could distract her you could reach through and knock off a handfull of these coupons.
The bread was from Crones on Moss Lane just up the road --Lovely bread.
