The Bread Strike 1978

A Memory of West Bromwich.

Does anyone remember the bread strike in 1978? I had just had my third child and went to queue outside Robinsons bakery; you were only allowed one loaf per person. The lady from the bakery came out and gave me a loaf so I didn't have to wait in the queue - felt a bit guilty about that but how about all those power cuts too? Oh... happy days.

Yes, I remember it well ! I purchased a shop-used chest freezer from Bejam on West Brom High Street that had contained their carrots and couldn't afford to fill it so bought bread .... then there was the bread strike and we were the only couple who had sandwiches in our packed lunches for the duration !
