obesity, especially among children
at a very serious level, we are told that
the general standard of health of the
population was very high, thanks to the
small but adequate food rations. As
for the level of bath water, most only
bathed once a week, and the number
of times men changed their socks in
the course of a week or month remains
a secret unlikely ever to be revealed.
The 'black-out' laws were however a
real trial, especially in urban areas,
where the streets were patrolled by
'black-out' wardens who enforced the
rules with vigour!
