[Margaret Pilkington]

Oooh, it was lovely. We never got sweet things, so this was a real treat, and to be denied it because I wouldn't have the cod liver oil, was a real punishment.

As for sweet things.......we used to sit on the back step during the summer(although we called it the back stoop) with a bit of rhubarb and a paper twist of sugar......if we had no rhubarb, it was a twist of paper with cocoa and a bit of sugar......dipping our mucky fingers in and licking off the chocolatey flavour. The nearest we got to chocolate was 'Worm Cakes'.....does anyone remember those?
Aah sweet memories.
