Re: Rationing, lack of petrol, one egg a week...
A couple of oddities from the British clothing rationing system.
- Newly appointed High Court Judges were entitled to extra clothing coupons in order to purchase their regalia. Apparently they couldn't go without their Wigs and Gowns for the duration
- Despite needing more material a Scotsmans Kilt required fewer coupons than an Englishman's pair of trousers.
