I think Doug's is still in the market hall, although on a smaller scale than it used to be

Only 20 shopping days to Christmas That was real nostalgia, not like these days, Today leaves us with 100 shopping days to Christmas. I thought Christmas was supposed to be 'good will to all men', how come everybody is busy laying in supplies as if it is going to be a seige? Shopping Days Left 'til Christmas  O.K. I admit it, I'm as bad as everyone else. I live on my own and above is a piccy of my Christmas shopping so far.

Re: Support your local market this Christmas
Look at the bottom right hand side on the butchers advert.
'Note - we have been fortunate in being able to purchase AUSTRALIAN RABBITS'.Wow! What a Christmas dinner- a rabbit between the whole family! Christmas 1956 style-I remember it well.Although I don't remember rabbit. Is that when all our rabbits were infected or had we eaten them all in the war? Any more pages like that,Anzac? |

Re: Support your local market this Christmas
Those Australian rabbits on sale in 1956 could have been victims of the myxomatosis, because Wikipedia shows it was deliberately introduced in Australia in 1950.

Re: Support your local market this Christmas
I have a clipping from the Saturday The Observer Dec 18 1943 -
FEW APPLES OR ORANGES, BUT PLENTY OF MISTLETOE 'Not only toys are scarce. There will be few apples or oranges for sale in local shops this Christmas, an Accrington wholesaler told an 'observer' man yesterday. Any oranges available will be reserved for the very young children. There is no prospect of Canadian apples, nuts or other fruit. Holly and mistletoe for Christmas decorating are plentiful, but the difficulty in transport, since they cannot be brought except on top of other loads. Hence they will remain dear in the shops, and nearly all the holly is likely to be taken for the making of wreaths. ' I love this - I had found the clipping in connection with family history research but it paints a picture of wartime which is amazing. Maria M |
