Don't let the title fool you. This isn't a book about high fiving everyone else in your life. You're already doing that. Cheering
...How did the Victorians make their daily bread? Why were Edwardian shopkeepers so much more polite than today's? Just how tough was rationing? How many Green Shield Stamps did you need to buy a colour television? & when could one pound feed the whole family for a week? From the boom years of the Victorian High Street to the 1970s supermarket, discover what life was really like on the great British High Street & how shopkeepers & their customers have adapted to both good times & bad. Written to accompany BBC One's living history experiment, Turn Back Time... The High Street charts the extraordinary journey of a group of modern day butchers, bakers, caterers & retailers who run their shops using exactly the same foods, fashions & shopkeeping skills as yesteryear.
