Rationing?

Question

Yesterday I sent Cuthbertson down to the village store to procure some essential supplies, gin, tonic, cigars and the Times. On his eventual return he told me that the old duffer in the shop said we have not got the appropriate ration coupons. I know Little Boffington -on-Sea is a back water, but dammit all, rationing finished in the 50’s, didn’t it? So I retired to the attic and found some coupons and an old £1 note, on returning to the shop, Cuthbertson was charged 2/6d. for 1 bottle of Sir Robert Burnetts, 2 tonics and 25 cigars. Er…..does anyone happen to have any coupons left over from the 50’s I could have?

Answer 1

Sure, have Cuthbertson come by around 6 and pick them up. ;)

Answer 2

not a problem Smythe old chap, Bagthorpe (87) has just informed me that he will run a couple off for you, hes apparently a top hand at reproduction art, he learned it at the collage of correction and art at Broadmoore hall B block.

one has an old Picasso if your interested still, only a tenner old chap. cant seem to shift the dam thing...looks like a ruddy monkey painted it.

Answer 3

Sadly not old boy, I burnt the last of mine when rationing finally ended in the local village just last April.
