Did you also see in the Daily Mail. 'Cameron considers reintroducing the 'money back bottle'. They say history repeats itself, this should bring a smile to all of us of a certain age. 1d for the pop bottle or jam jar.

These were on the Daily Mail web-page as well.
The top one is Newton Street in 1941, and the bottom one is St. Georges in !940. This is by all accounts where the Birmingham Mail depot was, along with their garage in 1940.
