Shoes? You were lucky.

 

For some of us, it was plimsolls in summer, wellies in winter. Not easy to run to the outside toilets in wellies, but at least you could warm your feet if you didn’t get there  quickly enough.

Rob, I can go one better than that and it's perfectly true. When about 10 years old there were a couple of us kids who only had wellies. In summer you rolled them down, in winter left up. When they got too tight the toe fronts were cut off !!, then they worn like sandals. I remember having some hand me downs and I thought they were the bees knees, Black sneakers with studs, Great ! Until I got to school and some bird said " Why are you wearing girls Netball Boots"? I was devastated...:sickly:

Shredded cardboard, what luxury ! We had to chew tree bark off Balsa tree to make paste and bake it under a magnifying glass and wring out dishcloths.

Used sump oil??? When I were a lad, used sump oil was a luxury, nobody but the rich owned cars, so we only had used sump oil on stale bread for Christmas dinner..
