You couldn't help yourself, you had to wait for the shopkeeper to get everything for you. There's wasn't the selection like there is today in the supermarkets, but it was more 'personal' and friendly I think.

Its about 3 families being transported back in time from the 21st century to 1927 Wales, they live and work as they did in those days, working down the mines and living in miners cottages, very interesting! I can see how my grandparents had to survive and bring up children in those surroundings now, instead of using my imagination. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
