Thats why they are little fibbers Teri our food was rationed too !!!!! till the 50s,but I do remember crisps (smiths) they were called and they were delicious but they wouldnt have been on ration,that would be after.
I was 6 years old the first time I had a banana lol
they were delicious too,not like they are now ! tasteless like everything else !
Did you go to the banana plantation in Egypt Teri,now they really are bananas ........sweet and soft,but of course you have to dodge the mosquitoes and a silly looking man about 4ft tall with an asda bag !!!!!! who wanted to marry me ! lol not a hope !

Makes you wonder Phoenix !

Thank s for that phoenix is it online ?

As you are just talking about the British - when I was in our bookshop in the town I browsed in a book called "Instruction Manual for Great Britain" and they wrote re. Pubs - English pubs open at 11 a.m. and are open till (I no longer recollect), so at 11 a.m. people (above men) are going into direction of the pub. Moreover in the evening the last beer is served at 11 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays Brits (particularly men) go to the pub and drink beer and brandy, like we drink for instance coffee. That's quite different in our country, you can have a beer or a brandy whenever you wish it, but usually we don't drink any alcohol before lunch or supper in the evening and we don't drink more alcohol on week-ends than on other days. Some men have a so-called "Stammtisch",i.e. they meet one evening a week and discuss political or other issues, but the young generation seems no longer to be interested in such old-fashioned traditions.   

Am Not a Pub Drinker (Hurray)!! I believe that Pubs was allowed 24 hour's for 'Binge Drinkers'?? -- Which is possibly why so many of the younger generation are  "Mozart and litz" Brain Dead  and have to keep drinking --- For 'socialising' a 'Remy Martin'(Brandy) was my favourite, with a nice 'castella' then A coffee (not instant) with a 'Baylie's 
Those day's are long gone,  most Pubs are taken up with the young breed and i don't suppose there are any 'selective' houses anymore!!

Could be a bit tricky that Teri lol

Phoenix, "discos" we call them, they are also very popular in Germany and my younger daughter was a fan of them. Don't ask me how many evenings my alarm-clock had to wake me up to collect her from the disco!

I think in our town we have got a dance hall, but I never have been there, so I can't say whether it's for the youth or for senior citizens.
