I've enjoyed reading all the posts.Born a few years before you,commoner, I suppose we would have been classed as deprived.We had a happy childhood despite no electrity, often sadistic teachers.handed down clothes etc, We were lucky to have good parents and never went hungry-plenty home grown veggies. Not really all that many good things in the "good old days" Wonder what a list would be like in 50 years time!!! One thing stands out when I reminisce-very few obese people during rationing and very few fat children-not because of lack of food but because we spent time outdoors skipping,playing rounders etc.
