Default Carrots

Phil there are two points over this matter. It also ties up with the 'Dig
for Victory' campaign where there was a glut of carrots!!


I give illustrated talks and one of them is on the Food Rationing during
World War II. My talks are mainly to the Senior Citizen and Military
Historical Clubs and Associations.

Research into Food Rationing brings up some interesting facts on our farming
in those days and how little we provided for ourselves. I am afraid that the
war somewhat spoilt their leisurely way of life!!

No. It is a myth put about by the MOI when we were using radar to detect
enemy aircraft during WWII.
