I lived in Wanstead as a child and remember the Co-op van coming round. We
would be sent to buy small items of grocery that Mum had forgotten and woe
betide us if we forgot to quote our Co-op number (333064!!). My favourite
purchase was a tin of chocolate fingers !

Bearman's in Leytonstone had one of those tube thingamys too I think. I
loved that store and used to get lost deliberately in it as they would give
me a biscuit in the office until my mother was found !
