"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 the 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.".

Sowerbutt's Petrol

"Jimmy did some big deals after the war." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "Petrol was scarce with the currency restrictions and ordinary civilians didn't get their allocations back until '48. He had big cash reserves from the war and invested thousands in petrol, bought from the GIs. He stored it in tanks on the disused airfields and sold it gradually for a fortune."

Sowerbutt's Signs

"A laugh we had after the war was the Battle of the Signs." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "They took down the street signs in 1940 so that Jerry would get lost if he invaded. In Poplar, they started putting them back in '46. Some streets had disappeared in the Blitz, so that got them puzzled. Other signs went on the wrong streets and had to be re-done. Come nightfall, the street boys changed the signs over. Carried on for months."
