Sixty years ago, today ............ it was a different world. War time rationing had ended yesterday.

The government had through rationing decided what we would eat for 14 years and the population was healthier than it ever had been or has been since.

Now we are enormously unhealthy, diabetes and obesity is costing the NHS a fortune.

Hmm, yes - I see what you mean: it kinda has a "looks too new" appearance to it. Unless, of course, a very enthusiastic vintage radio restorer has had it through his skilled and capable hands! Ho-hum.

I've just viewed the BBC video again - and I got the distinct feeling that I was actually watching an episode of Wallace and Grommit!
However, he's in his own little world and - to all external appearances - is quite happy and content. What else matters? Is that not one of the prime objectives of us all?
