I had left home by then, but on return visits had nowhere to hang my clothes - my wardrobe was piled high with bags of Tate & Lyle.Also, care needs to be taken when comparing sugar consumption in modern times with that of the 18th and early 19th centuries. In the old days it was a very valuable commodity. Only the super rich could afford it, and they had boxes in which to store it under lock and key. It was worth as much as precious stones.</blockquote>
