Abstract

Fred and Joan rented a flat on the first floor at 252 Hills Road in Cambridge (Fig. 7.1). The war was on, so rationing was in place and certain foods, especially meat, were scarce. Imports were not available. They grew some vegetables in the back garden. Joan was social and enjoyed chatting with people. She developed a special rapport with the butcher, so if meat was available, she could usually get it. They had a few chickens in the garden. Young chickens produced eggs; old chickens produced dinner [1].
