<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2214919, member: 71234&quot;]Most of what I remember of the Festival of Britain was people&#039;s waists, as I was only about 3 1/2 feet tall. It was pretty crowded, for my family only a half hour train journey to go and see it, as it was for most Londoners.</p><p><br /></p><p>The actual exhibits are a bit blurred now but I clearly recall the Skylon and the Dome of Discovery. When you are just turned eight years old pretty well anything unusual is impressive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bread rationing had only&nbsp; finished 3 years before and it was another two years before sweets and sugar were no longer rationed. Meat was rationed till 1954.</p><p>Fat people were considered freaks at that time. Not surprisingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
