For a start, we had fresh milk delivered everyday and people didn't
normally stock up with a week's or month's supply of perishable foods,
like we tend to today. I remember mum shopping every few days for
something or other.

I remember being sent out to buy something almost every day, at an age
when kids are probably kept indoors these days, once I had been trained
how to recognise whether things like eggs and fish were fresh.
