LOL Elroy..yep I read that the Consul's ultimately depreciated by 98% when you combined the British Pound devaluation and the huge inflationary move in the 1960's and 1970's. You mentioned food rationing continuing in Britain until 1954. I have read Keith Richard's auto-biography and the 2016 Paul McCartney biography, as well as other accounts over the years of many others growing up in Britain in the 1940's and 1950's.... several have described how living in England was pretty austere and drab... between the physical damage that in many areas took a number of years to replace and the collective mood on the adults and kids who grew up with the war experience and the after effects really placed a role on the psyche of the people, as well as helping to create a mind set that helped create the art and especially the Music that grew out of it. The appreciation of American blues that inspired the Stones, John Mayall, Alex Korner, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker of Cream.. It influenced the beatles, the Who. Since England was being heavily bombed by 1940... by 1954... to still have the effects of the WWII evident is something that is obviously so different than the US, Canadian, or Australian experience.
