I'm with you, Acido, as far as the Semolina goes (and tapioca too, if it comes to that), but there's nothing wrong with a rice pudding if
made properly. Loved dripping on toast, especially if I could have some of the brown bits !

As for the old bomb-shelters, don't go there, mate! As I recall, at war's end, they soon acquired another use as an emergency toilet for No's 1 and 2. - Ugh !!! Once you put your head in the door or at the outer end of the escape tunnel, their renewed purpose soon became clearly apparent. H & S would have gone bananas, but there wasn't many of them around either! I saw my first 'real' pineapple ca 1949. It was for sale in a greengrocer's shop in Rayleigh, Es***, at the exorbitant price of 9/-, which in those days was way beyond the purchasing power of the average family. I still wonder if it was ever sold or whether it simply rotted away For all the austerity of those years I've often thought I'd like to go back for a visit.... if only to renew my sense of value and once again enjoy the respect and consideration of my fellow-beings..
