[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1894861, member: 93179"] Interesting - on the second graph there's a little sharp spike around 1974-75 which corresponds to what I thought was a UK sugar crisis - but was apparently a world wide one, which eventually resulted in rationing for us, but also caused some sugar hoarding too. I worked out in the country and we had a free works bus to shuttle us to the small local shopping centre during lunch breaks, and I was a bit gobsmacked at the daily sugar craving lemming like hordes of women who literally shoved and sprinted the few yards from the bus to deplete the little supermarket's shelves of the dwindling sugar stocks! There were apparently questions asked in parliament:- [I]Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Corbett) on 5th November.... Is he further aware that it is time we looked at the practical problems? We know about the long-term difficulties over agreement, [B]but is the hon. Gentleman aware of the difficulties which people working shifts, disabled people and pensioners are experiencing in trying to get to shops early enough to get limited supplies of sugar? [/B][/I] The mind boggles - but apparently we needed to get our sugar crazed priorities right! Robbity [/QUOTE]
