I've noticed recently there's a lot of hoo-haa regarding the 70th anniversary of the blitz. Ahh yes, them were the good old days i'll have you know. Constant food rationing, Vera Duckworth songs, over-sexed yanks, power cuts, blackouts, wearing gas masks [mainly due to poor diet] and 'Geronimo' the re-usable condom! .....ahem ... happy days. Those damn gerries have got a lot to answer for. And not just for destroying vast swathes of our fine cities but also for trying to make goose stepping and silly moustache's fashionable. As far as i'm concerned, that's unforgivable...
A report on the telly said that damage was so vast it took until the late 1960's for all the ruined buildings to be rebuilt. From personal experience i know this to be untrue, as on a recent [and unfortunate] drive through Coventry city centre clearly showed that reconstruction work on their bombed out city hadn't even bloody started !!
