This guide, How to Survive in Ration-Book Britain, will help the time-traveller who journeys back to mid-twentieth century Britain. From 1939 to 1945, the country is involved in World War Two and even after victory is achieved, Britain is cash-strapped and years of austerity follow. Throughout, food, clothing, fuel, furniture and items we take for granted today are rationed and people are scrimping, scraping and using their imagination just to get by.
As cities and towns are bombed, lives lost and homes destroyed, men are called to serve the country, children are evacuated and women are expected to 'do their bit' on the 'Home Front', maintaining the house as a place of welcome, boosting morale and stretching meagre food allowances to keep everyone fed and fit. This is no easy life yet people find lighter moments and 'carry on carrying on'. Whatever the disaster, somebody will find a way to make tea. The English 'cuppa' is the answer to almost every problem. You have to admire their spirit.
Enjoy the experience as this book helps you to survive the hazards and live life to the full in Ration-Book Britain.
