You have just described a typical wet Sunday afternoon at my Nan's. It is bizarre to think that in those days that was seen as a treat! Yes ....Sunday tea at my Nan's was always a Salmon ( tinned of course ) salad....even in the middle of winter followed by tinned fruit and cream and bread and butter as you have described ....and the bread and butter was compulsory !....Pretty much standard throughout the Potteries in those days I think We had the same. Originality obviously wasn't important in the 70s

Take the empty pop bottles back to the pub and get 5p back for each bottle for sweets. Get bottles of stout for your grandparents from the off sales at the pub Go into the smoky pub as a kid to tell your dad his Sunday dinner was ready. They were good days. A whole shilling for a pop bottle , our local toffee shop had a yard out back with a 6' wall where he kept the crates of empties form a human pyramid and push the youngest over the top to climb down and pinch a load , climb back over on the stacked crates , got 3d a bottle , got 2 oz of loose boiled sweets for 3d . Haha - also did this at the offie on Shady Grove in Alsager....what young scamps we were.

Originality obviously wasn't important in the 70s Never quite got the bread and butter thing , My mum made Yorkshire pudding with self raising flour which meant it didn't rise ( I know) it was about an inch thick pretty solid too , it was also served for sweet with jam and sugar or golden syrup

Dip. Dipping a slice of bread into the meat juices of the Sunday roast,I still do it today, but I don't tell my Doctor I do it though. I suppose the bread and butter thing was to make it look like you were getting a lot to eat.

I once remember my grandad having a slice with a bar of chocolate !. My gran was a marvelous cook ....but the method in producing a good Yorkshire pudding always eluded her ...hers was like your mums thick ...almost dense ,you could slice it like a cake , but she always maintained that her way was the proper way .

We used to call a round of bread n butter a "piece" I think the bread n butter with everything thing came from years ago when bread was cheap to make and was quite filling . I still have B&B with most things . I wish I liked brown bread as it's better for you but unfortunately I can't stand it :/

Mum always maintained the pumped up balloon Yorkshire puds were a nasty American version and to be avoided

Football games on the rec. in the summer, lasting nearly all day long, cricket in the backs, using a dustbin lid for the wickets, if you were hit on the leg, it was LBW no matter where your leg was or where the ball pitched. If the ball went into some ones yard you were out. Shotties played on cobble stones out the backs, you got a bog of Shotties from Woolies for a Tanner.
