註釋

This is the story in three parts of an ordinary but resourceful family, toldagainst a backdrop of the social and political events of the 20th century.Orange Juice and Cod Liver Oil recalls the wars and turmoil of the first half of thecentury and chronicles the lives of a returning Tommy and his family surviving ontemporary jobs and living in makeshift accommodation, including a mobile morgue.You will share Peter Morley's poor, but idyllic childhood in the New Forest, and seehow early lessons on the social order were drawn from teenage years passed aspoacher, apprentice, motorcyclist and rower.Nourished by the Welfare State, the author eventually obtained enough education tohave a successful career in an international company, with travel that providedopportunities to observe social conditions and attitudes of people around the globe.This delightful book will make you laugh and cry as it takes you through a centurythat saw more change and social evolution than any previous time. Orange Juiceand Cod Liver Oil will appeal not only to those who remember the "Baby Boomer"years, but to business travellers and the current "digital" generation who have noexperience of life without "technology" and entertainment on a plate.
