I have been invited to present a 1940's Night and would love to know what
you grew in your garden in the 1940's. I would also welcome any recipe
from the 1940's

AND, jokes from the 1940's???????????

Jacket potatoes, Mike. Remember Potato Pete?

They had not long gone to bed when the familiar roar of bomber engines
was heard approaching.She was already asleep but he said with a nudge
"jerry's over".
"Ok,I'll mop it up in the morning".

Thanks Sam. That's the first one in and is in the files :-))

Feel sure I can do that one with sound effects of the Bombers :-)

Potato Pete, yes I remember him :-)

I do have a couple of genuine War Time cook books and a new one just out
about Rationing. That one has some recipes in but I could do with more.
