but coffee was almost unheard of in the UK in wartime... certainly not available to schoolteachers. Trust me, I know. My mother, aunts and grandparents lived through the London blitz.
She could have been offering him CAMP coffee...the liquid coffee which was available most of the time - especially by '44... It had an "okay" taste, but we'd wait for many years to get real stuff..!!
How does Bridget exit stage left and Vicki come stage center? Or else, why introduce Vicki? Chapter two, please.
Definitely seems like the first chapter of a story involving not just our hero and Becky but also Vickie at some later point. What happened to the rest of the story?
Sorry about that.
