'Ere, I read somewhere that you could be fined for that sort of thing later on in the war.
And not trivial amounts of money.
As in £30 or so.
Which was a fortune in the 40s.
I also read about some unfortunate shopkeeper being done for selling stuff at a halfpenny above the approved price.
He was fined something like £350.
Which was about 3 houses worth back then.
My Great-uncle was invalided out of the Second World War on mental health grounds (probably feigned) and used to sell black market goods out of the back of his Morris van in South London.
