Boomers made that bland war time food linger. They were children during and just after WW2 so it was part of their childhood nostalgia and they fed it to their own kids. Also we’ve had Indian/ Chinese restaurants in the UK for a while but they were mostly just in major cities at first so the average person still had little exposure to foreign or exotic food until the late 1970s/ early 1980s.

Whatever you think will effectively illustrate it
Can someone please explain to me how companies are getting around the laws which are in place to stop unequal pay?
I used to have to tell my female friend to put the lid down when she stayed over. My cat loves drinking from the toilet so if the lids up when I open the door and I don’t catch him in time he’ll just dunk his head in it.
You should really put it down when you flush too which minimises the amount of fecal or urine particles that get into the air.
Good point. But rationing continued in the UK until 1954 so it did affect them.
