During the Second World War most milk in Britain was used for the making of one single kind of cheese nicknamed 'Government Cheddar' as part of war economies and rationing. This nearly resulted in wiping out all other cheese production in the country.

That takes me back to 1934.
Admiral Burn had just reached the pole, only hours ahead of the Three Stooges...
and I guess he won the argument, but I walked away with the turnips.
The following morning I resigned my commission with the coastguard.
The next thing I knew there was civil war in Spain...I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville,
which is what they called Shelbyville in those days.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em.
‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah -
the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
and, that’s everything which happened in my life right up to the time I got this phone call...
