or you can make your own Tiffin from digestive biscuits , cocoa powder and chocolate

Put all these in a bowl or pan and microwave or heat on hob for a couple of mins, to melt:

• 100g butter/hard marg (not low-fat, as it won't set)http://l.nmimg.net/images/Tiffin.jpg
  
• 25g soft brown sugar
  
• 3 tbsp cocoa
  
• 4 tbsp golden syrup

Then add:

• 225g crushed digestive biscuits
  
• 150g raisins (or other dried fruit)

Mix well.

Press into a 20cm square greased tin.

Melt 225g milk/plain chocolate, pour on top and smooth over mixture (optional).

Mark into squares and chill in fridge for an hour or so before cutting

my mother was a co-op member all her life and she and my father were buried by saving the divi and useing it at the co-op funeral service. i also delivered milk at one time when a schoolboy and worked at the dairy when i was home on an extended leave from the MN. i had to leave after the shop steward refused to recognise the NUS union.so i went and worked in a plywood factory shovelling coal.

Off topic but being about the Coey it reminds me of a story a guy I knew told me.He was in the police force and was called to a break in at the local CO-Op store.The safe had been opened and emptied of all contents including the takings.It was pointed out to the manager that there was sign of the safe having been tampered with to gain entry.I know he said thats because I always hang the key on that hook just above the safe!!!! Just shows you what a different life it was in the fifties,was it naivety on his behalf or is thats the way life was in those days.You always hear old people say that they could go out and leave their front door open without fear of being robbed.I always point out to them that they had nothing of any value to steal.It used to be heard where I grew up someone say "I'b better get home I've left the front door open" somebody would reply "Yes somebody might go in and scrub out" thats about all they could've done because there was nothing to take.

the word you are looking for is wholesale

Hi Jim.
I think that the "W" stood for Wholesale.
Dave Williams

the W did stand for wholesale.
each area had its own co-op and was independent as was the milk service and the insurance arm.everything was sourced through the CWS and labelled as such,

Just like many of the 'tin' monet pieces you got from the Co Op.

Co-operative Wholesale Society?
Our local co-op has just stopped the divvy at the end of 2012. For every purchase we had to cut the bottom off the till slip and stick it on to a sticky sheet which we took twice a year to the Co-op office. The divvy was caluculated and written in our pass book. My number was 519, and last week I collected my final divvy of 34.67 pence!
Now we have a card, and no divvy, just money off coupons! :(
