Thank you for the kind words I have received on this. I do have a happier memory. I was well enough to sit up, but the bed was still downstairs. When war was declared, the Government overnight nationalised all goods trains. Fyyfes had just got in a boatload of bananas, & they had been loaded onto the trains. They were all taken out & put by the lines. The Railway men were told to help themselves. This my Dad did, I remember sitting up in bed eating one. He was able to give them to everyone in the street.
