Things could not have been that tight financially as I see toilet roll on the list.
You know times are tough when you have to go to the outside toilet down the garden and the toilet paper is the News Of The World cut up into squares and hanging on a bit of wire behind the door.
Hang on there, this is 1972 you know and NOT WW1. What makes you think that in 1972 Toilet Paper was a Luxury and outside toilets. I do not think so as even in Dundee, as that where I was living and working in 1972, these were all but gone.
Now if you had said the same thing about 1952 then I remember things almost as you stated.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
