The least of our worries?
The outbreak of nuclear war in the 1950s could have led to a tea shortage...
Quote:
Government officials planning food supplies said the tea situation would be "very serious" after a nuclear war.
"It would be wrong to consider that even 1oz per head per week could be ensured," they stated.

In the forces we did it differently - we ensured, should the Soviets invade West Berlin, all the beer would have been gone.
It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it!

I was in Nam to, DageNham, sad thing is though, I rather have been in Vietnam at the height of the war, it'd have been safer   |
