And the big long drawers full of cakes and buns. My dad was one of the last retail breadmen. I covered for him when he was on holidays.

I remember the Breadman who would have been the worse for wear on a Saturday afternoon    if he'd called into a few hostelies on his round.

Also the Braid and Maine lemonade carts called on a Saturday afternoon with the big glass bottles you got money back on the following week.

Remember the glass milk bottles in the blue crates and the cream sitting on the top of them. We needed to put a bit of ply wood on the top of ours to stop the birds pecking holes in the silver lids.

10 p money back on glass mineral bottles.  There was an old boy who owned our local shop and if he was in it on his own we used to sneak the bottles that we had already got 10p back on and re-present them and get double our money!!!

My youngest brother was called 'Boccles' because he went into the factory next door every day looking for bottles to get the money back on. 

It was his sole source of income for years.
