x_los"Across the Universe" begins in the early 60s, whereas rationing ended in 1954 (bananas being, oddly enough, the last restricted item). So: rationing lasted for fucking ever (since 1940- bacon, butter, sugar), but not as long as I'd thought. So Liverpool looks lame for no reason, because the sharp economic decline that ruined its docking industry didn't come until the mid 70s.
Also Sarah Jane was a companion from '73 to '76, so when Rose makes a joke about her coming along when they'd only just ended rationing in "School Reunion," Rose is just being a bitch. But as much as I like Sarah Jane, that's funny. Sarah can cry into her wool sweater sets about it.
