USUK Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Used to love going to the Co-Op with my Grandma (and her ration book). They had those overhead ropes that shot the money tubes over to the central cashier. And then the Butchers was connected and they had sawdust on the floor, (and a hole in the wall for the money ropes to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
