Back in Time for...: 20s, 30s & 40s

The Arderns get a taste of running a store in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, considered the golden age of the corner shop due to the plentiful availability of packaged food. However, rationing quickly has a devastating impact on both the shop and the family's day-to-day lives, with carrot lollies and mutton bacon proving less than enticing meals. The Arderns learn how to make ice cream by hand and blend tea, as well as taking delivery of a vintage fruit machine. They also find themselves at the centre of a community party recreating the VE Day celebrations
