there's almost certainly some mileage in that. Even though the war ended in 1945, there was still food rationing in Britain until 1954.

You might find this article of interest in order to get some perspective of what kind of society the Stones grew up in :

it looks like a wax figure of keith in that photo with halup, i know its not but it looks like it

amazing what cutting down to two bottles of beer a day for a few weeks can do for ya!

Well- I hate to break my 'oath of secrecy', but at this point, I feel I must. The last stop in New Zealand was no 'casual' plan- they were visiting their fellow Hobbits!

who'd a thunk my innocent comment about skinny aging englisj rock stars could turn this thread into a historical/scientific thesis! But having heard this "ration" theory for the first time here, i think there must be something to it. If you are brought up eating frugally, i am sure it stays with you.

So what happened to Mick Taylor...did his family steal their neighbors coupons?

Lizard's Monty Python photo was hilarious.
