Is that talking from personal experience?

If you were then it's always nice to share experiences with a fellow ration book holder.

No, not personal experience, I was born a few years after WW2 rationing ended - and am very pleased about that as it's looking as if my generation is possibly the most fortunate in human history. Obviously that's a general statement and there will always be exceptions, but I think the general level of wealth and privilege of the 'baby boomers' is well documented.

in that case please feel free to pass on my views to Mr Daltrey if you ever see him.

In the very unlikely event that I encounter Mr Daltrey I shall try to work your views into the conversation. Somewhere between Wilko, Hendrix at Monterey and Shel Talmy I'll let him know that someone on the internet is thinking about him

Couldn't you work it into the conversation around the price of fish down at his trout farm?
