	Please add your memories. I know that in the war years that certain products were scarce, so what did people use instead of the normal products e.g what was used instead of sugar, soap & other scarce products? Also once those things came back in abundance did you hoard them, as my aunt used to hoard soap, and my friends mother hoarded sugar, because they both said they never wanted to run short of these things again.
