The Hoover Dam project was one of the first (the first?) where hard hats were mandatory for workers on-site!

"s-should the need arise"

Yes, Shadowheart, I am sure that's why you were considering that. Necessity.

Yeah, rationing was easily one of the most hated things on the British home front. Rationing continued several years after the war and more or less directly led to the Labour government losing to the Conservatives over the issue of continuing rationing.

Yeah, these are just the rationed goods. Bread wasn't rationed during WW2 for the Brits. Vegetables and the like also weren't rationed.

Trading ration cards was actually very common! I imagine the only Brit who didn't like tea or sugar was living like the king.

Bread wasn’t rationed but the only bread you could get your hands on was “the national loaf”, which my grandmother informed me was “saltier than unwashed seaweed”.

lmao

Makes one grateful to live in a more plentiful age!

The Brits referred to American GIs in the UK as "Overfed, oversexed, and over here" (some versions have 'overpaid' instead of 'overfed')

To which Americans developed a response - that Brits were underfed, undersexed, and under Eisenhower!

Carrot cake surged in popularity during WW2 for that reason.
