"Rationing continued for years after the war, but Jimmy had a good ruse." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "He had a deal going with undertakers across the East End. As soon as they got a client, they tipped him off for a consideration. He'd pop round to the grieving family and buy the deceased's ration book.".
