Yes! 36176! Loved going to the village Co-op with Mum in the 50s. I always remember her buying Procea bread, does anyone remember that? Before the days of sliced loaves. My Granny lived in a quite isolated village though there were two grocery/general stores (none today) and a PO but the Co-op van called each week. Happy days.

Yes, I can remember my mum's - had to learn it for when I was sent to the shops.

A new supermarket opened where we live and we changed to that for a while, but we went back to the Co-op for several years before moving here. There isn't one locally but I quite often use the Co-op when we're away. I wonder what they'd say if I trotted out my mum's divi number when I went to pay......

A light one for the weekend.
Can anyone remember their mother's Co-op number? I certainly can't but last night DH trotted his mothers out. We were talking about boys wearing wellingtons all year round in the 50's and he said he went for his own and put them on the "Book" he also went for his own summer goloshes /plimsolls to the rest of the country and his gaberdine mac.
I can remember the "Book" when things were brought home on trial and then returned if not suitable.
My gran still sent in a tick list of the Groceries she needed each week then they were delivered by a van, sounds a bit like online grocery shopping. She still called them her rations.
Does anyone else have memories of the good old Co-op?
