No, but it wouldn't have affected us much as we bought bread from a small local baker... and my parents are old enough to remember how to keep suppliers of rare goods sweet.
I do remember when toilet rolls were in such short supply that people were banned from throwing them at football matches!
And one of the reasons I remember the power cuts is that one of the coal strikes meant that an op on my glass damaged finger was postponed. By the time the hospital had caught up, the good surgeon had retired. We didn't like the replacement - I'd have been one of his first cases - so I still can't move my left middle finger properly.
