SHORTAGES
My mother spent most of her life standing in queues for small amounts of food, having to walk to wherever it was being sold as there was no transport (no petrol, no tyres, etc.). Her health was permanently damaged, she lost over 2 stone in weight and although she lived for some years after the war ended, her death could be attributed to the privations she suffered. Manual workers were allowed a little more food for obvious reasons, my father being a clerical worker did not have extra rations.
