My brother worked as a van driver for Bisland Bakery in Cheapside Street at the time and at every shop delivery he would ask the owner for a loaf and every shopkeeper gave him one for free. Before long we had a 13cu/ft freezer full of bread and my mother would sell it, at normal shop prices, to all the neighbours. My brother claimed the money made was his as the shop keeper had given him the loaf, my mother told to f**k off as the freezer they were kept was hers and she paid the electricity to run it, and how the hell was he going to eat 40 f***ing loafs. My brother just shrugged his shoulders knowing there was no way of winning any argument with my mother.
