I don't remember my mum having a co-op number, but I can remember going to the co-op to buy her milk checks on a Saturday. Either red or blue - I think they changed each time the price went up.

and just remembered green shield stamps ... I used to think it was real treat to be able to stick them in the book for my mum.

Ration coupons that you had to give the shopkeeper for a small bar of chocy or a small bag of sweets to share with the whole family.

Too right, our first house had an outside toilet and Izal toilet paper. We had no bathroom so bathnight was on Sundays in a tin bath in front of the fire where me and my brother had to share the water.

Chopping firewood and filling the coal scuttle on a winter's morning, then lighting the fire. Took ages to get warm.

Washing day was Monday and I can still smell the damp clothes as they came out of the copper and mum threaded them through the mangle. We always had a steamed meat suet pudding on Monday cos mum used to cook it in the copper with the clothes.

Absolutely, I still put som Persil in my gravy to this day.

No, I'm not sure of the technicalities (I was rather young) but I believe it was in a sealed container of some kind.
