Bernard Brett was brought up in Birkdale, Southport, and was much involved with the family grocery business, both before and during Word War II. He was at the impressionable age of 10 years when the war came, and some of his reminiscences reflect this. He hopes to trigger off other people's memories of the era - and also to stimulate a discussion about how food trading systems and shopping have developed into to the supermarket world of today. The presentation will conclude with stories of how we came to have some of the familiar manufactured food products which are still around - raising social and advertising issues which are very pertinent to our present day society.
